2024 Litter League
Congratulations 2024 Players!
The 2024 Litter League Concluded on May 31st with a Championship Tournament in Downtown Pittsburgh sponsored by GeoTechnics. Six teams played in the final bout, and competition was fierce, with multiple challenges and slim pickings thanks to the tireless efforts of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership’s CLEAN TEAM and all the additional municipal services in anticipation of the weekend’s festivities.
Moody Blues and the Trash Pandas mounted a comeback, finding two Golden Eggs and completing a series of season challenges in the last week, but in the end, it was the overwhelming effort and coordination of the 412 Redder Uppers, who completed nearly ALL of the challenges, and brought a full 10-person team to the final match. They finish the season with a record 13 points and a total of more than SIXTEEN TONS of collected.

Litter Walks
Throughout the year, we work with community partners to organize Neighborhood Litter Walks. These are low-intensity events, excellent for casual adventures with families. At each walk, volunteers follow a local guide for roughly 90 minutes, collecting lightweight litter in public streets and pathways, followed by a social hour at a nearby restaurant or public gathering place. We'll provide all the equipment, you provide the helping hands! Register for an upcoming event or write [email protected] to schedule a Litter-Walk in your Neighborhood.
What is litter?
We define litter as: loose & wasted manufactured materials on public thoroughfare
Litter can occur intentionally, like illegal dumping, or unintentionally (like trash blowing out of an unsecured garbage can, for example). Litter is matter where it doesn’t belong. There are many factors that contribute to litter and illegal dumping. While the solutions are complex and varied, one thing is for sure: we all have the power to prevent and eliminate littering and illegal dumping!
