Tired of seeing litter along our streets and in our parks? You are not the only one.  Join countless other Shelton residents as we take back our streets, rivers, and parks from those who would trash them.

Residents:  Please try to keep litter picked up along the street in front of your home.  Can you do a bit more?  How about your street? Every little bit helps. Is there vacant land or open space near your home?  Show pride in your neighborhood by removing litter as soon as it appears.  Inspire others. People are less likely to litter a clean street than a trashed street.  Want to get others in your neighborhood involved? We have a special flyer you can use to organize your own neighborhood Clean Sweep event.

Youth Groups (Scouts): Shelton has many open space properties, schools, and ballfields that tend to collect litter all year and are safer to clean that roadside areas. We also have patches available for participants.

Businesses and civic groups:  We are working on an Adopt-A-Street program and will soon be looking for participants. You will get your name on a special Adopt-A-Street roadside.

All: Before any garbage is placed out along the street, please be sure all contents are secured in both inner liners and cans.  Otherwise, when the cans are emptied, the loose trash will tend to fly out of the truck and end up as litter.
