Community Clean Up

Step 1. Check with your solid waste manager to see if a Community Waste Audit has already happened in your town/city. Read about what's happening in New Hampshire in the Northeast Resource Recovery Association's 2020 Annual Report.

Step 2. Read about the Great American Cleanup from Keep America Beautiful: >> Link

Step 3. Study the 2020 Top Global Polluters list from Green Matters or read the Break Free From Plastic 2023 Audit Report. 

Step 4. Join an existing group or organize a first clean-up day:

• collaborate with a school class, civic club, or scout group

• document kinds of trash and identify main sources Example: a particular restaurant chain or coffee shop
