• A can-do spirit

​

When Should I Do A Litter Pick-Up?

• ANYTIME!

​

Where Should I Do A Litter Pick-Up?

• Parks and Playgrounds

• Hiking Paths

• Your neighborhood/community

• Places where lots of people go and gather outside

​

What Do I Do With All The Litter I Found?

• Sort out what you find into two piles - recyclable and garbage. Then place these finds in the proper bins. This should help keep the items from getting back into our environment!

​

Kid Safety Tips

• Bring a buddy

• NEVER pick up something that is sharp - that includes knives, broken glass, needles, etc - ask a parent for help

• Be aware of your surroundings - make sure you are staying safe and off the roads and parking lots
