No one wants to sit next to cigarette butts during a picnic (ew) or trip over a plastic bottle while walking down the beach (ouch). So help put an end to the gross litter sitting around and have a public space clean up.
- Pick a time, date and location for the cleanup and get your team together. Post flyers around your neighborhood, send out a Facebook invite to your friends, and tell your family to join.
- You can’t have a cleanup without the equipment. Make sure to bring:
- trash bags
- rubber gloves (the reusable kind)
- close-toe shoes
- Check to see if your city needs recycling to be in a certain colored bag. You can then label each bag into these categories:
- Aluminum
- Plastics
- Paper
- Trash
- Now that you are prepared, go out and start cleaning! Go to a local park, beach, or any public space with your cleanup team.
- A lack of garbage cans and recycling bins can be a main reason why there is so much litter on the ground. If the area you are cleaning sucks when it comes to separating garbage, call a local government leader to see what can be done.
