What Is Litter?

Any substance or object , deposited (thrown, dropped, dumped, abandoned or discarded) in any place other than a litter receptacle or authorized designated place for litter, that is likely to become unsightly (visually offensive), harmful (deleterious) or to pose a health hazard (unsanitary).

The size or amount of litter is irrelevant - a cigarette butt, a gum wrapper, a match stick, or a large black plastic bag full of trash all constitute litter.

What Can I Do?

Set an example for others, especially children, by not littering.
• Carry a litterbag in your car.
• Make sure trash cans have lids that can be securely fastened. If you have curbside trash collection, don’t put out loose trash in boxes.
• Tie papers in a bundle before placing them in a curbside recycling bin.
• If you own a business, check dumpsters daily to see that top and side doors are closed.
• If you or a member of your family is involved in a civic group, scouting, or recreational sports program, encourage the group to adopt a street or spot in Riverside and maintain it on a regular basis.
• Make litterbags for your bicycle, and give them to your friends, too.
• Report areas where people have illegally dumped garbage and debris to Riverside Public Works Department at (909) 351-6127, and ask that the material be removed.
• Volunteer to help organize a cleanup.

Can I Do More?

• Ask the organizers of a festival, fair, or other outdoor event in your community to make it a "litter-free" event. This can be done by giving out litterbags at entrances and making sure that everyone who attends knows that it is a "litter-free" day. Affiliates of Keep America Beautiful have organized litter-free concerts, fairs, and minor-league baseball games.
• Cover open loads on all trucks.
• If you are a contractor, ask your chapter of the National Association of Home Builders about the "Build America Beautiful" program.
• Encourage a school to start a "clean campus" program. This could include placement of trash receptacles, litter pick-ups, and projects in which students track litter’s origins.
