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.
