Adopt-A-Park
This program empowers volunteer groups to adopt a park, median or greenbelt to maintain. Volunteers can choose to pick up litter, mow, or make city-approved landscape improvements on a year-round basis. Each group is recognized with a sign acknowledging their efforts in its park or median.

Cigarette Litter Prevention
Cigarettes are the most littered item. We are working to prevent that in Oklahoma City. We provide free receptacles to commercial districts and organizations. Cigarette waste is collected and sent to Terracycle to be repurposed. This program includes outreach and education about the harms of cigarette litter.
