Youngstown Litter League first official season 2024, and registration is open! Opening Day for season one is June 1, and volunteers can join the lineup to help strike out litter in neighborhoods throughout the city.

Get ready for some friendly competition! Create or join a team to compete in one of four divisions: corporations/business, nonprofit/faith-based, community groups, and individuals. With up to 20 players per team, you can decide where to clean up. Need a location in mind? Green Youngstown can assist you in finding an area in need of a cleanup, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose.

After each cleanup, teams will place their bags of litter for collection and report their stats for that day. One bag of litter equals one run, and the teams with the most runs at the end of the season will win their division.

The winner with the most runs will be invited to attend a Mahoning Valley Scrappers game at the end of the season, and the top litter collecting teams will be eligible for additional prizes and celebrity like public notoriety as we compete against the City of Columbus and Toledo.

With research indicating that people are less likely to litter in clean areas, this program could significantly reduce the problem. We can do so, however, the assistance from our community partners and volunteers is needed. This is the “City of You”, where YOU can make a difference and be a part of our city’s transformation. The Litter League season runs from June 1, 2024, through August 31, 2024.
