Clean Bayous
Litter is an aesthetic and an economic issue, but it is also a water quality, wildlife, and health issue. Litter harms physical habitats, transports chemical pollutants, threatens aquatic life, and interferes with human enjoyment and uses of our bayous. The Clean Bayous Program works to reduce litter in Houston waterways, through bayou clean-ups, and through the development and implementation of prevention strategies and projects to prevent nonpoint source pollution in our bayous.
Reclaimed BaYOU program is dedicated to improving materials and waste management at the grassroots and community level by implementing programs that focus on the removal of materials from the waste stream through reuse, efficient recycling, upcycling, and other management options. The Bayou Preservation Association (BPA) recognizes the importance of community and local involvement in materials management as a means of preventing these materials from entering the greater Houston watershed.
