Litter Collection Program

 

If you call Keep Akron Beautiful you will get action in your neighborhood regarding illegal dumping or a much-needed litter sweep of the area in question. You may have seen our crews on the expressways picking up debris and litter in orange safety vests. We help to keep city parks and ball fields clean and attractive. We are interested in taking your complaints and, if we can't help you directly, we will try to refer you to the city department which will best serve your needs. You can also call 3-1-1 to file a complaint.

*One form of illegal dumping we find on public land in Akron is the dumping of tires. During 2011, KAB collected and recycled 210 illegally dumped scrap tires. It cost the agency $1 for each tire it responsibly disposed of at a reputable recycler. In March 1996, the Ohio Senate passed Bill #165 to keep all tires out of Ohio's landfills. This bill also monitors the hauling and recycling of scrap tires.
