The City of Philadelphia's Unlitter Us Campaign

The Frankford CDC wants to make sure you know the requirements for participating in the City of Philadelphia's Unlitter Us campaign and becoming a Litter Free Zone.

Your Litter Free Zone should include as members:
1. Community supporters (block captains, neighborhood groups, residents, CDCs) who are dedicated to cleaning and maintaining at least one block - more if possible
2. If possible, a neighborhood school that will agree to become a Litter Free School Zone
3. If possible, nearby stores or businesses that will agree to become a Business Ambassador

Your Litter Free Zone will have to:
1. Participate in a minimum of two cleanups scheduled by the Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee, or two self-organized cleanups (check the full schedule at PhiladelphiaStreets.com/PMBC)
2. Pledge to maintain the Litter Free Zone consistently after the first cleanup
3. Place Litter Free Zone signs or window clings in prominent locations to identify your approved zone
4. Follow Streets Department trash and recycling regulations available at PhiladelphiaStreets.com

Be sure to contact us at 215-743-6580 to get involved in our efforts to keep Frankford litter free! Several businesses along Frankford Avenue are also involved with the program, so if the store you're shopping in has an Unlitter Us sign hanging up, feel free to ask the store owner about the campaign as well!
