Clean Community Commission


Our Mission

The Clean Community Commission is charged with initiating, planning, directing and coordinating programs for litter control and prevention, as well as; beautification in Portsmouth. As a Commission we encourage the planting and preservation of key landscaped gateways and promote public awareness and participation in the improvement of the environment by creating and maintaining better parks, public spaces, waterways, wetlands and rivers, streets, and highways. Additionally, the Commission will advise and recommend plans to promote Portsmouth as a “Clean Winner” in the Hampton Roads community by maintaining open dialogue with key city departments and officials.
