For the Media
After three years of the state’s highly successful Clean California initiative, which has created 18,000 jobs and hauled away more than 2.6 million cubic yards of litter across the state, California is launching a new designation program to reward communities for committing to zero-litter policies and regular local cleanups.
The Newsom Administration joined the City of Fresno on August 3, 2024, to launch the program and designate Fresno as one of 30 California communities first to take the pledge. Link to Governor Newsom’s announcement here.
*The Designation Community list will be updated monthly.
