How To: Clean Up a Public Space
Sometimes the most important things you can do for your community and the space around you are the simplest.
- Assemble a team of excellent activists such as yourself.
- Grab some equipment:
- trash bags
- rubber gloves, the reusable kind
- closed-toe shoes
- Label your trash bags. Make sure to check if your city needs recycling to be in a certain colored bag.
- Trash
- Aluminum
- Plastics
- Paper
- Head to a local park, beach, or some other kind of public space and get cleaning. Make sure everything that you pick up ends up in the right bag. Make sure paper, cans, and plastics are up to recycling standards before you sort them into those bags.
- Take note of whether or not there are garbage cans and recycling bins around. If there aren't, call a local government leader and see what can be done about making trash and recycling receptacles more available in public.

The playgrounds in my town and the green are all full of trash.... I'm so doing this.
There are many public parks and beaches near my neighborhood, this is a great opportunity for me to help the environment
The sides of the roads are full of trash and the parks around my home are full too. Im going to help clean up and make my town cleaner.
yes i would help clean that up, because thats important, there are younger kids on playgrunds that would not want trah everywher as they paly around the park or anything else.
Im eager to help clean the community if anyone in the st.clair county wants to get together and start cleaning the environment if you interest you can email me at travionne618@yahoo.com
My whole city is full of wrappers and cans that aren't taken care of, I might be able to advance the success of my club if I host an event like this.
I am the president of Key Club at my school and I think this would be a great activity for our club to do! We do have some polluted areas in our city and I really like the idea of labeling the trash bags so we can recycle at the same time! We're going to go for this! :)
the streets near my house are filled with trash! when it rains or snows wherever you walk there is wet newspaper. It`s gross!!!! I`m definitely going to do this.
Picking up bottles is a way to get your bills payed. (here is another benefit if you pick up trash) :D
My neighborhood is always filled with trash on recycling day because everything blows out of the bins. I will definitely do this, and I want to write to Rumpke about the problem with the recycling bins too.
I'm going to the beach soon...maybe I can do this when my dad is off at his business meeting.
My youth group & i are heading to the beach next week to recycle any bottles, cans, or papaer that we may find around :) were planning to find a day to go to a freeway & clean trash near the exits & sides :)
Recycling is not only good for the planet, it's also good for your pocket! Just think, the more you recycle the more you earn.
This is the 1st time i do this. I really want to make a difference in my community. So many people that live here, what does it cost?

I walk my dog on the beach at the Columbia river and bring a trach bag with me. We clean up while having fun on the beach. I know its a small think but it helps.
