Summarize this article:

Since you're going to be outside for a good percentage of the day, pay attention to the weather forecast. If the sun is out and you live in a warm climate, make sure to wear sunglasses and a hat to protect your face and neck from sun damage. Always wear close-toed shoes to protect your feet no matter what the weather. Wear bug repellant to avoid mosquito bites while you're picking up litter. When cleaning up trash, it is important to recycle in order to reduce the amount of waste in our environment. Many items are recyclable but should be placed in separate recycling bins. You can use 4 trash bags as you clean to separate litter into the following categories: metals, paper, plastic, and bottles. Metals include things like soda cans, soup cans, foil, and bakeware. Paper products should include cardboard, magazines, newspapers, and juice cartons. Plastic should only be recycled if it is clean. If you find plastic bottles with liquid inside, even if it's just a small amount, throw it away in a garbage bin. Plastic bags also should not be placed in recycling bins. Certain waste products should be avoided when you're picking up litter, as they may be harmful. If you see any of the following items, do not pick them up. Instead, report them to the local council or landowner: Needles Human waste Personal hygiene products (condoms, tampons, etc.) Electrical items Dead animals Bottles of liquid Unlabeled bottles Potentially dangerous chemicals
Dress appropriately for the weather. Use multiple bags to sort litter for recycling. Avoid and report hazardous materials.
