Our Mission
Delete Litter is a movement on a mission to rid the world of litter. We're passionate about creating cleaner communities through collective, everyday efforts.
Founded in 2025, we are building a global community of good citizens who each commit to removing 1,000+ pieces of litter annually from their neighborhoods and other public spaces—with the collective goal of deleting 1 billion pieces of litter each year by 2030.

"Individual actions quietly compound to massive societal gains."
"Community engagement and accountability are core to our success."
It's a numbers game
There are 50 billion pieces of litter in the U.S. alone 1
That's 150 pieces for every American. WE can be the difference.
The Three Pillars
Our approach to eliminating litter is built on three foundational pillars that guide every initiative and program we develop.
Activation
Inspiring and motivating individuals and communities to take action against litter through awareness campaigns, events, and educational programs.
Enablement
Providing tools, technology, and resources that make it easier for people to identify, collect, and properly dispose of litter in their communities.
Empowerment
Building communities and networks that recognize and reward positive environmental actions, creating a sense of accomplishment and sustained motivation.
