Creating a Litter-Free Rhode Island...Together

Rhode Island's beauty comes from its natural beauty. It's in our state parks, across our beaches, and throughout our communities.

Protecting that natural wonder, however, takes all of us—including you!

With the help of state agencies, community groups, and passionate Rhode Islanders, Governor Dan McKee and First Lady Susan McKee have launched the Litter-Free Rhode Island program to address litter in all 39 cities and towns.

We've made great progress, but there's more to be done! Join us and help create a Litter-Free Rhode Island today!

Trashboard is now Live!

Provided by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation, this dashboard provides data on a wide range of Litter Free RI initiatives including the total weight of trash that has been picked up, how many bags have been filled, and locations of reported cleanups.
