Litter prevention

Litter is a growing problem in Port St. Lucie and eliminating litter in Port St. Lucie is a priority so that our city can continue to be a great place to live and work.

Learn more about the problems associated with littering and approaches on how to correct it.

The city combats litter in the following ways:

Litter hotline: (772) 871-7000

The hotline allows citizens to report: construction debris (menu option number 1), commercial or residential litter (menu option 2) and motorist’s littering from a vehicle (menu option 3).

On average the city receives 50 calls a month from citizens reporting litter thrown from cars, illegal dumping, debris in a canal and general litter conditions.

Adopt-a-Street program

Nearly fifty miles of city streets remain litter free thanks to more than forty-five groups and individuals who have pick up litter from these public roadways. Get more information.
