The statewide “Don’t Drop It on Alabama” Spring Cleanup – an annual event coordinated by Alabama PALS (People Against a Littered State) – will be held during April.

Over 140 cities, counties, and volunteer groups are participating in the 2025 cleanup effort. 

PALS also coordinates and implements the Alabama Coastal Cleanup, the Alabama Clean Campus Program, and the Alabama Adopt-A-Mile and Adopt-A-Stream programs. Each effort is made possible through partnerships with business and industry, state associations and state agencies that are committed to making Alabama a leader in environmental volunteerism and awareness.

“Coca-Cola United is proud of our role as the Title Sponsor,” said Andy Britton, director of public affairs and communications for Coca-Cola United. “We are especially pleased with our annual partnership with Alabama PALS as we all move forward toward our goal of a world without waste.”

This partnership has enabled PALS to further incorporate recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans.

The effort is made possible through PALS Sustaining Partners Alabama Department of Transportation, Alfa Insurance, Coca-Cola United, Vulcan Materials Co., Honda, the Association of County Commissions of Alabama, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians and Alabama Farmers Cooperative.

Additionally, Alabama PALS continues its partnership with the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) campuses. 

“It is truly an honor to participate in this important initiative each year. As Alabamians, it is our shared responsibility to preserve the beauty of our state by keeping it litter free. Together, we can make a lasting impact and inspire future generations to care for our environment,” said David Walters with ACCS in a statement.

PALS has distributed approximately 150,000 bags statewide for the 2025 cleanup, as well as materials and supplies to all participating cities, counties and volunteer groups. Volunteers interested in participating are encouraged to contact their local coordinator to join an existing cleanup or to establish their own local cleanup within their respective community.
