Middletown Clean

Our town is a beautiful place to live, work, and play—thanks in large part to its natural surroundings. But preserving that beauty takes all of us.

Whether you’re walking along the beach, enjoying a local park, or just out for a stroll in your neighborhood, please take a moment to clean up after yourself. Even better—bring a bag and pick up a few pieces of litter along the way. If everyone does a little, we accomplish a lot.

“Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute!”

-Woodsy Owl

Woodsy Owl (good friends with Smokey Bear) is a national symbol for the United States Forest Service with the aim of motivating people to form healthy, lasting relationships with nature.

We can all take to heart Woody’s message in our daily life - by picking up trash and being mindful of our environment.

Take the “Litter Free Rhode Island Pledge” Today!

Rhode Island, the Ocean State, is world-renowned for its natural beauty.

Our beaches, parks, and outdoor spaces are part of what makes our state so beautiful and special, especially when they are litter free. Let's keep it that way!

That’s why First Lady Susan McKee and Governor Dan McKee have launched a statewide anti-litter campaign. We will encourage Rhode Islanders and visitors to help clean up our outdoor spaces, and protect our unique natural heritage.

Please take the time to review the wide range of resources, events, and opportunities throughout this site to discover how you can help Keep Little Rhody Litter Free!
