Safety tips


Remember to be safe when you’re on the hunt for litter.

  • Wear appropriate and protective clothing (boots, gloves, etc.).

  • Wear a hat or sunscreen if necessary.

  • Pick up litter in your gloved hand and carry your bag in the other.

  • Do not pick up strange articles that may be dangerous. Don't pick up anything that looks sharp (i.e. used needles).

  • Do not take any risks attempting to reach litter in hard-to-get-to places (up a tree, down a steep incline, in rapidly flowing water, on slippery surfaces, etc.).
