Keep North Dakota Clean, Inc.

Keeping North Dakota cleaner through litter prevention and education

Welcome KNDC!

News

  • We pay approximately $11.5 billion per year in direct costs to control litter.  These costs include cleanup and prevention programs which are covered largely by businesses and taxpayers.

  • There are, on average, 6,729 pieces of litter per mile.

  • Cigarette butts comprise 38% of all items littered

  • Most littering (81% of observed behaviors) was committed “with intent” by the individual

  • We are 15% more likely to litter when there is already existing litter.

  • Age matters. Older individuals (30 and over) littered less than younger individuals, but gender was surprisingly not related to litter rates.

KNDC is on Facebook.

2010 marks the 42nd year of the Keep North Dakota Clean Poster Contest. Teachers, contest rules and themes should be mailed out in January 2010.

The Arbor Day poster contest packet is available in pdf format on the Rules & Themes page.

KNDC's Belief

Let’s face facts: We can’t keep North Dakota clean on promises. It requires the hard work of people who care about the economy and beauty of their community – people like YOU!
