Littering is against the law. Alabama State Law allows a fine up to $3,000 and 100 hours of community service for a misdemeanor littering offense. Learn about Alabama Littering Laws and “Don’t Drop it on Alabama.”

2026 Alabama Coastal Cleanup Information

For more information about this effort, visit the website below:

Alabama People Against A Littered State (ALPALS) is a statewide, volunteer-driven organization founded in 1987 to beautify Alabama’s streets, waterways, campuses, and coastlines. Through education, annual anti-litter campaigns, and partnerships with local communities and governments, the organization works to prevent litter and implement successful cleanup programs. ALPALS invites all individuals, schools, and civic groups to join their efforts by volunteering, participating in programs, or becoming members.

When our members and sponsors donate to support PALS, they are investing in a cleaner environment, healthier communities and more vibrant economy.

It’s our responsibility to protect the environment in every way we can. This includes serving as an example for young people and teaching them to properly dispose of trash, as well as being a model of volunteerism by lending a hand with clean-up efforts.
