It is the purpose and intent of the Pierce County Council to establish a Pierce County litter and clean-up disposal credit and to authorize community clean-up events. The credit will supplement existing litter control efforts of the Pierce County Department of Planning and Public Works by enabling County Departments, cities, towns, and authorized individuals and groups to deliver litter and clean-up waste to Pierce County disposal sites free of charge. Community clean-up events enable targeted efforts in communities experiencing problems with solid waste and litter accumulation. This partnership among the County, volunteer organizations, individuals, municipal agencies, and the County's solid waste handling vendor is intended to reduce litter and build civic pride in attaining the goal of a litter-free Pierce County.
