Slam Dunk Litter League  

In 2022, Memphis City Beautiful joined forces with the Memphis Grizzlies to put a full court press on litter in Memphis! Teams from all seven City Council districts faced off in a competition to see who could clean up the most litter in their neighborhoods.   

Throughout September and October, teams scored 2 points for each bag of trash they collected. Find out which teams took home prizes in our first-ever litter cleanup competition as we played zone defense to clean up every part of our city!
