The Neighborhood Litter Patrol Program is an opportunity for community members to partner with the City to receive supplies and disposal (listed below) for their cleanup efforts. Cleanup activities can range from planning a cleanup for a large group or organization to a single individual looking to clean up their neighborhood. Cleanup activities must be on public City of Tacoma property or rights of-way (for example, you cannot clean up outside the city limits of Tacoma, private properties, WSDOT property/rights-of-way, Metro Parks Properties, etc., through this program).

To enroll in the Neighborhood Litter Patrol Program, complete the registration form using this link. Please note that as the person enrolling in the program is required to be the same person who is requesting supplies/disposal.

After holding four (4) cleanups within a one-year period, you will become a qualified Neighborhood Litter Patroller and will be eligible to join the Adopt-a-Spot Program. Cleanup activity is tracked based on the use of landfill passes for disposal, pickup requests submitted to Solid Waste after cleanups, and/or submitting cleanup reports to the program coordinator—cleanup reports must be submitted if you are using a personal trashcan for disposal or adopting a traffic circle.
