We’re Always Looking for New Projects
With funding from your donations and grants, we have a wish list of opportunities to make an even bigger difference in our community.
We want to proactively address cigarette litter by purchasing and distributing personal ashtrays and deploying public disposal containers. Did you know the filters in cigarettes can be recycled for free, through a program sponsored by TerraCycle?
One of the more annoying sources of litter are the dog waste bags that are left along sidewalks and trails. C’mon dog owners, you can do better! To help, we want to purchase and distribute dog waste bag containers with a molded-in hook to carry the full bag back home or to the car.
Sponsoring public art to raise awareness of litter problems.
A few heavy duty power garden tools will help us clear overgrowth that allows litter to collect.
