Picking up plastic bags, bottles

(plastic and glass) and the cans in

your community. The bags can be

used in the car as a trash bag, to clean up animal

poop or to carry items places later on.Recycle products at home including you

mixed paper like paper bags and boxes from the fast food joint (as long as they aren't dripping with condiments and leftover toppings.)

Tips

Use signage to get you point across.

Ask entities in your community to practice recycling and put recycling bins in their stores or in the area. Community partnerships can strengthen the ties you.

Buy a trash can, line your trash can and cover your trash can. Many people will have a trash can and not line it with a durable trash bag, leading to residue from the trash and more reasons for cats and other animals to get into them.

Cleanliness is the

cornerstone of discipline

and the trademark of success.
