Though the UnLitter Us Campaign "isn’t your mother’s anti-litter initiative," explained Streets Commissioner Clarena Tolson over a phone interview. Launched on March 27th, at this year’s 65th annual Block Captains’ Rally, the UnLitter US initiative is the first sustained public service campaign to rid our City of litter once and for all, explained Tolson.
