There are actions we can all take to put litter in its proper place. You can do this by:

• Reducing waste: giving old products new life instead of throwing them away. (ie. use old containers for storage or support second-hand stores as opposed to buying new). AND SAVE MONEY!!
• Diverting waste: recycling or composting materials when and where possible to divert waste away from landfills. (ie. use your blue bins making sure you properly separate recyclables).
• Preventing waste and litter: stopping waste before it’s created and has the chance to become litter. (ie. choose to buy goods with less packaging or bring a reusable cup to take-out establishments that accept them). AND SAVE MONEY!!
• Cleaning up litter: helping to keep your community clean by picking up and properly disposing of litter, or by organizing a community litter cleanup for others.
• Properly disposing of waste: making sure anything that belongs in the trash is securely placed in garbage bins to help keep our community clean.
