If your group cannot sponsor trash collection in your harbour, beach, marina or park, your group may be able do it yourselves. You need to look at the volumes generated, a few garbage cans a day may be serviced by a pick up truck, but greater volumes may need larger capacity vehicles. Landfill tip fees should be discussed with your local town sanitation department and do not forget saftey needs. Post signs You may have many facilities to deal with trash in your community but they may not be used. One simple approach to promote good practices is to post signs where they will be seen and read.
Several groups have materials available to assist such projects.
Sometimes signs are not enough. Annoucements on radio, television or in magazines or newspapers can be effective. Your group may have the resources to produce such announcements and your local media may be willing to assist your group to get your message out. This could be ideal for a community college or civic club.
