Distribute Litter Bags Connecticut, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Texas, and Washington authorize their state's environmental department to produce and distribute a state litter bag. The state's anti-litter campaign symbol and slogan are typically printed on the litter bags. The state's office of motor vehicles may distribute the litter bags, typically free of charge, at state welcome centers and other entry points. Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection has distributed litter bags at regional automobile shows in the state. State wildlife and fisheries departments also distribute litter bags to boat owners at boat launches.
Several states require vehicles to cover loads and adopt measures to revent spills.
Hawaii, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Washington require load cover and spill prevention measures on vehicles. Hawaii requires operators to cover or load their vehicles in a manner that will prevent the load from separating from the vehicle. Alabama, Hawaii, and Louisiana specify that if any of the load is loose paper or rubbish, empty cartons, dirt, sand, or gravel, then the load must be entirely covered. The State of Washington requires cities and counties with staffed transfer stations or landfills to adopt an ordinance requiring vehicle operators to secure or cover the transported wastes. Local ordinances may exempt haulers of wastes that are not likely to spill.
