litter removal
Picking up garbage
Litter removal is the collection and disposal of trash discarded in public spaces—parks, roadsides, beaches, waterways.
It may be organized cleanup efforts, municipal services, or individual volunteer action.
The city scheduled litter removal along the highway for Saturday.
Community litter removal programs often combine environmental stewardship with civic engagement.
