Litter Prevention Tips

• Hold on to items you want to dispose of until you are able to dispose of them  in a garbage can, blue bag or green cart.

• Remove any litter or debris that you come across when you are outside enjoying our beautiful community.

• Properly tie down, secure and/or tarp all materials that you are transporting in the back of an open truck or trailer.

• Make sure there is no loose litter or debris thrown in the back of your truck or trailer before traveling on community roadways.

• Keep a litter bag inside your vehicle for garbage you generate while traveling in your vehicle.

• Remove curbside materials from the curb if your materials have not been collected on your scheduled collection day. Phone the Waste Management Hotline at (902) 567-1337 to notify the department if your materials were not collected.
