Litter Free Upland

Did you know that we are cleaning up the city and you can help?
We are a 501c3 Charitable Organization ready to work with you.

Over 140 volunteers have taken the first steps to a cleaner city. Together we have picked up 3.84 tons of trash (7667lbs) from our streets, lots, bushes, parks and areas in need. That is heavier than a Cybertruck!

Are you ready to join in?
