Garbage in Its Place
Improving Waste Management in Our Communities
Summary
Seeing garbage scattered across neighborhood streets or finding broken glass at a local swimming area can be both unsightly and hazardous. Wildlife, too, suffers when tangled in waste or mistaking it for food. It's our responsibility to help reduce this environmental issue.

Nothing diminishes a neighborhood's beauty like trash blowing down its streets or broken glass littering areas where children play. Wildlife also faces significant threats from litter, with many animals becoming entangled or ingesting waste. To help tackle this issue, we all must contribute to keeping our environment clean and safe.
Trash can travel far beyond its original location due to animals, wind, and passing traffic. Securing trashcan and dumpster lids is a critical step in preventing this dispersal. Unlike bags, metal and plastic cans offer better protection. Leaving bags outside, even for a short time, can attract animals that will scatter debris. When transporting waste to a landfill, ensure the load is covered securely with a tarp and ropes or bungee cords to prevent anything from falling out.
Carrying small bags during walks allows us to pick up litter along the way, often with the bonus of returning bottles and cans for deposits. Leading by example can inspire others to do the same.
If you witness any illegal or accidental dumping, report it by noting the license plate number and alert the authorities. You should also report locations where trash has been left to local city, highway, public works, or conservation offices to arrange cleanup.
By taking these small actions, we not only reduce risks of contamination and injury to people and animals but also conserve valuable resources by recycling. Keeping our environment pristine benefits citizens, tourists, and wildlife alike. By maintaining clean spaces, we can take pride in making the world a bit better for everyone.
Written by Dave and Lillian Brummet, inspired by their book, "Trash Talk," which provides practical solutions for individuals to reduce waste and manage resources effectively. For more information, visit their website.
