Trash Disposal

How You Can Prevent Trash Pollution

Each of us has a responsibility to prevent trash from being improperly disposed of.

• Never dispose of anything in storm drains or drainage ditches.
• Place all trash in a trash can.
• Keep trash bin lids closed and secure to prevent trash from falling or being blown out.
• If you see trash in your neighborhood, pick it up and properly dispose of it in a trash can.
• Clean leaves and trash out of your rain and street gutters.
• When spending time outdoors, collect any trash you generate until you can throw it in a trash can.
• Keep a trash bag in your car and never throw anything out of your car window.
• When hauling materials in a truck bed, enclose your loads or cover with a tarp to prevent anything from falling or blowing off the back.
