In 2023 alone, our network of affiliates and volunteers cleaned up over 1.25 million pounds of litter and debris across Georgia. We’re incredibly proud of these numbers, but we also realize that preventing litter from happening in the first place is the ultimate solution.

We believe the most effective way to protect our environment is to stop creating waste in the first place. By encouraging our network to reuse items and reduce what they send to landfills, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sustain the environment for future generations.

Recycling benefits communities by preventing pollution and stimulating local economies. Last year, we recovered over 5.7 million pounds of recyclable material that would have otherwise sat in landfills, supporting our manufacturers and keeping our neighborhoods clean.

Planting native trees, shrubs, and flowers not only makes Georgia a more beautiful place to live, but aids wildlife, strengthens communities, and creates tangible economic benefits. In 2023, we planted over 7,480 trees, shrubs, and flowers in communities across Georgia.
