LitterQueen is a purpose driven environmentally conscious for-profit organization aimed at reducing litter and its harmful effects.

LitterQueen operates primarily on the southside of Indianapolis, Greenwood and surrounding areas.

According to the Keep America Beautiful website, heavily littered areas reduce property value by an average of 7% making people feel less safe and is a huge detriment to waterways and wildlife.

Litter enters through drains ending up in rivers streams and even the ocean.

Clogged drains = flooding

The goals for LitterQueen are simple.

• to pick up litter wherever possible
• to protect waterways, drainage systems and wildlife
• help spread care for nature and infrastructure
• to increase feelings of positivity
• to have fun while making a difference
• to partner with other like minded events and organizations

Here are some before and after pictures. Some were cleaned up for the view, some for wildlife and some to clean drainage systems.

I have read that picking up litter is fun, easy and has instantaneous results, no wonder I enjoy it so much!
