Ten Tips for Making a Clean Sweep of our City

1. Send a smoke signal.
   Smokers: when it’s time to butt out, find an ashtray and recycle your empty packs with your paper products.
2. Pull a fast one.
   If you’re eating fast food, finish your meal in style and put your wrappers in the trash.
3. Give litter a ride.
   Keep your garbage in the car until you get home or find a trash can.
4. It’s ok to talk trash.
   Remind your friends, family and colleagues not to litter.
5. Be a pop star.
   Recycle your soda cans and juice cartons: it’s as easy as throwing something away, and it puts money in your pocket.
6. Nobody likes a gumshoe.
   Gum sticks to shoes and sidewalks, so when you’re done aim for the bin, not the street.
7. Exercise is good.
   Walk those few extra steps and toss your tissues and papers into the litter bin.
8. Every bag deserves a second chance.
   Reduce litter by reusing plastic bags.
9. Keep a lid on it.
   Regularly check your garbage containers to see that lids are closed and the area is tidy.
10. Be a good host.
    Vancouver welcomes thousands of tourists every year, so help Vancouver put on its best face. Pick up one piece of litter every day.
