JOIN THE TOLEDO LITTER LEAGUE

The Toledo Litter League is a summer long, litter cleanup, and beautification initiative!


Toledo Litter League is a competitive baseball-themed litter abatement program aimed at striking out litter throughout Lucas County.


All are welcome to compete! Teams compete as either businesses, nonprofits/faith-based organizations, community groups, or family individuals. 


At the end of the season, our top teams gather to celebrate their accomplishments at a Toledo Mud Hens game.
