About the Program
The Mississippi Inland Cleanup Program (MSICP) is a litter education, awareness, & prevention initiative that aims to serve the community through cleanup events, outreach, and research. This program is sponsored by Mississippi State University Coastal Research and Extension Center as an expansion of the Coastal Cleanup Program. This new program will extend the efforts of the coastal program by removing debris from the community (both land and water-based) and help stop trash at its inland source.
Our goal is to educate, prevent, and remove litter in targeted communities throughout the region including the following areas: Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Pearl River, Stone, George, Marion, Lamar, Forrest, Perry, Greene,Jefferson Davis, Covington, Jones, Wayne, Jasper, Clarke, Newton, Lauderdale, Neshoba, and Kemper counties.
