Litter Hotline

You don't have to address littering issues alone. The statewide, toll-free Litter Hotline empowers individuals to anonymously report incidences of littering they observe along Arkansas roadways, effectively teaching litterers that their behavior will not be tolerated in The Natural State.

Businesses, Families and Individuals

Empowering businesses, families and individuals to effect change is at the heart of community improvement. For businesses, changing behavior about litter and recycling can impact both the business' bottom line and the community's economy. The good behaviors and habits families encourage at home, especially in the area of waste reduction and recycling, are a valuable contribution to community improvement.

Law Enforcement

The state's law-enforcement officers play an important role as well, and many have creatively and effectively enforced Arkansas' litter laws on our state's roadsides, waterways and public lands.

Volunteer

It truly takes an entire community to prevent litter, encourage recycling and promote scenic beautification. By volunteering your time and using the tools and resources available from Keep America Beautiful, you can be the change that makes Arkansas a cleaner place to live, work and play!
