PALS kicks off ‘Don’t Drop It on Alabama’
The statewide “Don’t Drop It on Alabama” Spring Cleanup – an annual event coordinated by Alabama PALS (People Against a Littered State) – will be held during April.
The “Don’t Drop It on Alabama” Spring Cleanup is offered to all 67 Alabama counties, municipalities and statewide volunteer groups.
Over 140 cities, counties and volunteer groups are participating in the 2025 cleanup effort. PALS also coordinates and implements the Alabama Coastal Cleanup, the Alabama Clean Campus Program, and the Alabama Adopt-A-Mile and Adopt-A-Stream programs.
Each effort is made possible through partnerships with business and industry, state associations and state agencies that are committed to making Alabama a leader in environmental volunteerism and awareness.
PALS is once again proud to continue and expand its partnership with Coca-Cola United as the Title Sponsor for the 2025 cleanup. This partnership has enabled PALS to further incorporate recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans.
The 2025 “Don’t Drop It on Alabama” Spring Cleanup is made possible through the following PALS Sustaining Partners: Alabama Department of Transportation, Alfa Insurance, Coca-Cola United, Vulcan Materials Co., Honda, the Association of County Commissions of Alabama, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians and Alabama Farmers Cooperative.
Additionally, Alabama PALS is honored to continue its partnership with the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) campuses.
David Walters with ACCS writes, “The Alabama Community College System is proud to partner with PALS for the annual Spring Cleanup litter pickup event.
It is truly an honor to participate in this important initiative each year. As Alabamians, it is our shared responsibility to preserve the beauty of our state by keeping it litter free.
Together, we can make a lasting impact and inspire future generations to care for our environment.
The ACCS and its 24 community and technical colleges are proud to play a role in this annual event to Make Life Better for all Alabamians.”
PALS has distributed approximately 150,000 bags statewide for the 2025 cleanup, as well as materials and supplies to all participating cities, counties and volunteer groups.
Volunteers interested in participating are encouraged to contact their local coordinator to join an existing cleanup or to establish their own local cleanup within their respective community.
