MISSION STATEMENT
Litter Free, Inc.
is a nonprofit
organization formed in 1985 for the express purpose of creating a cleaner
environment and encouraging recycling within the City and Borough of Juneau. Our marine environment, with its many streams, rivers, lakes
and salt waterways, is very important to us.
Marine litter is just as unacceptable as any other.
Through the sponsorship of an annual spring
cleanup, with community-wide support, we target public and commercial common use
areas. Throughout the remaining
year we organize smaller cleanups using clubs or organizations to perform the
labor. The clubs or organizations
performing the small cleanups may receive payment for their services from
Litter
Free, Inc.
Along with these continuing tasks, we offer
public education to all members of the community, with an emphasis on educating
younger school children, to aid in developing good litter free habits and an
awareness of a participation in recycling.
Financial support is sought from the City and
Borough of Juneau and a variety of organizations and businesses.
We are striving for a clean and healthy
environment throughout our beautiful and unique surroundings. This, being
Litter Free, Inc.’s
main objective, not
only makes Juneau a better place to live, but provides a better capital city for
all Alaskans.
