CARTERET COUNTY, NC – Carteret County is
launching its “Litter Free Land and Sea”
comprehensive litter campaign to address the
ongoing litter issue within the county. The
campaign is a county-led initiative designed to
support volunteer cleanups, facilitate business
engagement and communicate the efforts of
waste contractors in an effort to maintain the
beauty and cleanliness of Carteret County.
“Carteret County takes pride in being a safe, clean, and attractive county where residents and businesses
thrive, and visitors are impressed,” said Michele Querry, Director of Economic Development. “The County
looks forward to working with our towns and municipalities, public schools, volunteer organizations and a
multitude of concerned citizens in order to keep Carteret clean.”
The campaign will provide an organized focus on education, prevention, collection, and enforcement. The key
to this effort is including and expanding our existing community partners so we can utilize their best tools and
practices, including the county’s ongoing relationship with the North Carolina Department of Transportation
and private waste contractors.
The campaign will utilize videos, social media, and a dedicated webpage to inform how the community can get
involved. Elements of the campaign include:
- A Comprehensive Countywide Cleanup Calendar
- Business Engagement Opportunities
- Adopt-A-Highway
- Secure Your Load
- 2022 Spring Litter Sweep Countywide Cleanup Day – Saturday, April 23, 2022
- Report a Problem Area
- Social Media Engagement
