Each summer, the Kittitas County Solid Waste Department hires a Supervisor and Litter Crew members to pick up litter along County roadsides from June until August. The Kittitas County Solid Waste Youth Litter Crew was started in 2007. Litter Crew’s goal every summer is to remove litter and illegally dumped material from public lands and roadways. Litter Crew also provides litter and illegal dump prevention education to citizens of Kittitas County. This program is funded by a Washington State Department of Ecology grant.
