About Clean & Green Pomona
Clean & Green Pomona was established in 2012 by leaders from the Inland Communities Organizing Network (ICON) and other community leaders. ICON led the “Don’t Trash Pomona” campaign to stop a regional waste transfer station project in 2010-11. Throughout the effort, many community members from ICON and its allies expressed outrage at the environmental conditions in Pomona. Since 2012, Clean & Green Pomona has been a leading advocate for a variety of health and environmental issues in the City.
