The City of Jacksonville has announced the winners of the inaugural Jacksonville Litter League, the city’s newest anti-litter competition, which turns community cleanups into a team sport. After two months of friendly competition, Operation G.L.A.D.D. Dads, led by team captain Michael Robinson, has been crowned the first-ever Litter League champion.

From July 3 through August 30, 2025, neighborhood teams across Jacksonville collected litter from streets, parks, and public spaces. Operation G.L.A.D.D. Dads rose to the top, removing more than 50 bags of trash, plus bulky debris and hard-to-bag items, demonstrating their commitment to making Jacksonville cleaner, greener, and more beautiful.

The Jacksonville Litter League, led by its mischievous raccoon mascot T.P. McClean, encourages residents to form teams, rack up points by collecting litter, and compete for community bragging rights — all while working to Keep Jax Cute, Don’t Pollute! The city extends its thanks to Operation G.L.A.D.D. Dads, along with every team that joined this year’s competition, for proving that civic pride is the ultimate win.

A fall campaign for the Jax Litter League in partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars – with new prizes to motivate contestants – will be announced soon.
