Mayor Brandon Johnson, Ald. David Moore, City Of Chicago Launch "Keep Chicago Clean" City Beautification Campaign

CHICAGO ~ Chicago Launches "Keep Chicago Clean" Campaign to Promote Environmental Consciousness and Civic Responsibility

Chicago, IL- In an effort to reduce littering, improve waste management, and enhance the city's natural beauty, Mayor Brandon Johnson, Ald. David Moore (17th), and the Departments of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) and Environment (DOE) have launched the "Keep Chicago Clean" campaign. This public awareness campaign aims to engage all residents and visitors in a collaborative effort to promote environmental consciousness, civic responsibility, and sustainable urban living.

The campaign features public service announcements (PSAs) that will be displayed on CTA rail and bus lines, Divvy Station digital screens, and at baggage claim areas at O'Hare and Midway Airports. The artwork for these PSAs depicts Chicagoans engaging in cleanup efforts throughout the city, at parks, and in their communities.

According to Mayor Brandon Johnson, "Whether you're a born-and-raised Chicagoan or visiting the city for the first time, you have an important role to play in keeping Chicago clean." He emphasized that building strong, safe, and thriving communities starts with pride in the places we call home. By picking up trash and properly disposing of recycling in blue carts, everyone can do their part to ensure that our streets, parks, schools, libraries, and businesses look their best.

The campaign's goals align with DSS's and DOE's commitment to fostering a cleaner, greener, and healthier Chicago where every citizen takes pride in their neighborhoods. Reducing waste and litter pollution are key drivers of improving community health and protecting biodiversity. Litter not only makes our city unsightly but also attracts rodents and disrupts wildlife habitats. Additionally, waste accumulation contributes to harmful carbon emissions in our neighborhoods.

Alderman David Moore stated that "Chicago is a world-class city with vibrant communities where we work and live." He stressed the importance of maintaining the beauty of our city and keeping our neighborhoods clean, which requires the support of all residents.

The Keep Chicago Clean campaign will run through the summer, which is a peak time for tourist visits and outdoor festivals, events, and concerts. The campaign's theme centers on the collective responsibility of all residents, visitors, and businesses to do their part in keeping Chicago beautiful and healthy.

Chief Sustainability Officer and DOE Commissioner Angela Tovar expressed her pride in working together with partners to build a sustainable and vibrant city for future generations. She stated that "DOE is proud to work together on this campaign and help advance the priorities outlined in Chicago's Climate Action Plan."

In addition to facilitating waste and recycling collection for 625,000 Chicago households and curb-to-curb street sweeping, DSS provides community-level support for individuals and groups participating in cleanup activities. Those hosting or participating in a community cleanup event can call 311, and DSS will provide tools and cleaning supplies.

DSS Commissioner Cole Stallard expressed his gratitude towards everyone who pitches in to help keep Chicago clean and safe. He stated that "We take great pride in our work to keep Chicago clean and safe," but emphasized that they cannot do it alone.

The Keep Chicago Clean campaign will also provide additional resources on environmental health, waste reduction, and recycling through its website at chi.gov/KCC. With the support of all residents, visitors, businesses, and city departments like DSS and DOE, we can all work towards a cleaner, greener, healthier Chicago for generations to come.
