Using your website for litter control is easy…
Successful litter control must be an ongoing effort involving the entire community. Make sure you involve youth, seniors, businesses, clubs…everyone! Removing litter can have a huge impact on the health and beauty of your community
Try these tips to improve litter control:
- Always set an example by not littering.
- Advertise your neighborhood events as “Litter Free” and hand out litterbags.
- Organize “Quick Cleanups” via email blast. e.g. “Inviting all neighbors to go outside for 20 minutes, Saturday at 10am and do a quick litter cleanup!”
- Create a page on your website –show pictures of areas before and after litter cleanup.
- Organize a litter committee.
- Report illegal dumping to local authorities.
- Removed trapped litter from fence lines on a regularly scheduled basis.
- Make sure homeowner trash cans have lids that can be securely fastened.
- Ask local businesses to assure their dumpsters are covered.
Clean communities improve quality of life, and have a much better chance of attracting new residents and businesses.
