LIVERMORE, Calif. – The City of Livermore has officially earned the unique designation as an official “Clean California Community” from Caltrans’ Clean CA initiative. This makes Livermore one of only six Bay Area cities to earn the designation so far. 

The designation reflects Livermore’s role as a leader in California’s Zero Litter movement to keep all parts of the state as clean, healthy, and beautiful as possible.

Building on its legacy of environmentally responsible leadership, most recently Livermore offered to its community volunteer litter cleanups throughout the year, enhancing opportunities to serve above and beyond the annual Community Service Day in September, which attracts over 600 volunteers.

“Livermore’s strong sense of community pride and environmental stewardship is evident in the care we take to keep our city clean and welcoming,” said Mayor John Marchand. “We are proud to be recognized by Clean California, and this accomplishment was made possible through the dedicated work of our staff, along with the support of our residents, volunteers, and community partners. We are proud to celebrate this achievement together.”

The Clean California Community Designation Program, part of the $1.2 billion Clean California initiative, was launched in 2021 by Caltrans to clean up, reclaim, transform, and beautify public spaces statewide. The program was developed in partnership with Caltrans, Keep America Beautiful, and Keep California Beautiful.

To earn the Clean California designation, Livermore completed all 15 criteria to clean up and beautify the City including expanding public education and youth outreach programs that reached thousands of students. The City also strengthened enforcement efforts through local ordinances and code compliance programs.

On Saturday, Sept. 19, Livermore residents can get involved with the City’s Community Service Day which will begin with a community breakfast. Bookmark www.LivermoreCA.gov/CSD to stay informed and sign up as soon as the projects are listed.
