SET A CLEANUP TARGET
A cleanup fundraiser creates a win-win situation. Not only will you make a positive impact on your local neighborhood by removing plastic pollution, but the funds you raise will help tackle the issue of plastic pollution on a global scale too.
CLEANUP INSPIRATION
Frustrated by all the trash you see outside? Clean up a beach, riverbank, harbor, park, or anywhere else outdoors!
Help fix your new habit by setting a target for yourself to clean a little bit every time you go on one of your daily walks.
Gather plastic bottles and cans from the streets or rivers in your town and return them to stores*. Use this money for your fundraiser - it's a win-win!
*Where bottle deposit schemes are available.
Bring people together: organize a cleanup event for your family or your community. This can be a fun way to get everyone of all ages involved in keeping your neighborhood clean.
TIPS FOR DOING YOUR CLEANUP
Here's a few tips to make the cleanup activity safer, more efficient and more pleasant:
- Wear gloves (biodegradable if possible) and use disinfectant for hygiene and safety.
- Invest in a pick-up stick if you plan to go trash picking more often (yay!). You’ll be amazed how much more trash you’ll be able to collect!
- Look into the recycling options in your area to find the best ways to dispose of the trash. Recycling options vary greatly per location – check your local government website.
