Arizona Clean & Beautiful Programs



Visit The Litter Hotline  and report a litterer on the web!

Arizona Clean & Beautiful sponsors and coordinates many education and cleanup programs around the state.

  • The Litter Hotline provides motorists with an opportunity to be part of the litter solution.  People who see someone littering can call their observations into the hotline.  ACB sends a letter informing the registered owner that someone in their vehicle was observed littering along Arizona roadways, and that littering is against the law!  A litter bag for the car is included.
  • Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Cleanup (GAC) is the nation’s largest community improvement effort, held March through May each year.
  • The “Adopt-A-Shore” Program was given a major boost when The Ocean Conservancy, a prestigious advocate in protecting water resources joined forces with ACB to expand the program in which volunteers adopt and clean the shores of Arizona’s lakes, rives, streams and washes.
  • The Annual Governor’s Pride in Arizona Awards Conference and Luncheon is the only statewide environmental award program that recognizes communities, businesses, and organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to improving the environmental quality of life in Arizona by the development of innovative, sustainable programs
  •  “Litter-free” Events  The Arizona Super Bowl XXX Host Committee asked ACB to implement the litter-free concept and a recycling program at more than 100 sanctioned events.  Success was validated when the NFL adopted ACB’s litter-free, source reduction and recycling plan guidelines for all future Super Bowls.  Other groups utilizing ACB’s litter-free event expertise include the Grand Canyon State Games, Arizona’s largest amateur sports festival, Parada del Sol and the Arizona State Fair.
