Alton City-Wide Litter Clean-Ups
The biannual City Wide Litter Clean Ups will take place on April 13th & September 14th, led by Pride, Incorporated!
Dozens of organizations and businesses pick up litter in their adopted areas which cover the main thoroughfares in town, and registration stations will be available to provide individuals with supplies to clean up their neighborhoods. Check back soon for full details. We hope you will jump on board and pitch in!
