What can you do?

  • Set an example for others, especially children, by not littering.
  • Carry a litter bag in your car.
  • Make sure trash cans have lids that can be securely fastened. If you have curbside trach collection, don't put loose trash in boxes or untied bags.
  • Tie papers in a bundle before placing them in a curbside recycling bin.
  • If you own a business, check dumpsters daily to see that top and side doors are closed.
  • Report areas where people have illegally dumped garbage and debris to your local transportation, public works or conservation office, and ask that the material be removed.
  • If you or a member of your family is involved in a civic group, scouting or recreational sports program, encourage the group to "adopt a highway" and maintain it on a regular basis. Call (317) 232-5533 (Ext. 0) for details.
