A campaign to end Dumping
All Philadelphia residents deserve to live in clean, safe, healthy, and thriving neighborhoods. Neighborhood groups, place-based organizations, and individuals across the city carry the burden of keeping their communities clean, but too often see their efforts undone in areas targeted by litter and dumping again and again. Disproportionately located in the city's least-served neighborhoods, litter and illegal dumping hotspots persevere due to inadequate waste collection practices. Our neighborhoods are under assault by indiscriminate dumping--from tires to piles of construction waste--while requests for removal are met with long delayed responses or simply ignored. These conditions contribute to environmental violence.
The Clean Philadelphia NOW Campaign, with its growing list of endorsing organizations and individuals, calls on the Mayor and City Council to adopt the platform, a public pledge and commitment to work for a Philadelphia free of litter and dumping.
