Sells More Homes Greenlake Litter Patrol

As part of our commitment to a cleaner and greener Seattle I created the Greenlake Litter Patrol in July of 2011. Since then our patrollers have been walking Greenlake year around, picking up a lot of litter.

Please team up with us, we supply all the tools and litter disposal. We need your help to keep Greenlake green and litter free so please check out our calendar and sign up sheet.

If you live in another community that needs a Litter Patrol please contact me as I would like to organize other Litter Patrols in the Seattle area. If we team up we can create and maintain a cleaner and litter free environment for ourselves, our children, our pets and wildlife.
