Litter Quitter
“Businesses Against Waste”
Litter Quitter is a Keep Brevard Beautiful program — backed by support from Brevard Zoo— that uses partnerships with local businesses as a means of reducing common sources of litter, like single-use plastics, plastic bags and polystyrene (Styrofoam).
Bronze Level:
- Ask-first straw policy
- Switch to a sustainable straw option (paper,metal, hard reusable plastic, etc.)
- Encourage customers to bring their own reusable straw
Silver Level:
- Switch plastic bags to paper bags
- Encourage customers to bring their own reusable bags
- Switch plastic utensils to a sustainable option (corn-based, paper, reusable, etc.)
Gold Level:
- Switch styrofoam cups to a sustainable option (corn-based, paper, reusable, etc,)
- Switch to-go containers to a sustainable option (corn-based, recycled plastic, paper, etc.)
- Encourage customers to bring their own to-go containers
- Deck netting for waterfront businesses
Our trained public outreach volunteers are out hitting the streets in hopes of convincing their favorite local restaurants to make one small, cost-effective business practice change to reduce litter. In exchange, businesses receive free marketing promotion, discounts on sustainable products, and networking/education opportunities.
Please support our members!
