Litter abatement Pilot Project

Since the start of the Litter Abatement Pilot Project, August 2, 2022, Creative Innovative have combined Street Outreach/Clean Up KC a employment component added within the magnitude of services needed. Since then 85,320 pounds of trash and over 700+ tons of bulky items have been collected.

This opportunity builds a bridge between community & those unsheltered. Thus supporting clean environments with the removal of debris, items from illegal dumping, and the amount of trash in neighborhoods, thus minimizing community complaints. 

This program allows unhoused, newly housed, and transitional living participants to be hired. Going through a 90 day process that transitions them over to more sustainable employment or career opportunity with Solid Waste.
