What to Do With Collected Garbage During Clean-Ups

In tidying up areas, wear gloves to protect your hands. Throughout a beach cleanup, we found plastic bags, metals, bottle caps, and fishing lines with lures and hooks attached.

These items endanger the aesthetics of coastlines and can be deadly to birds and marine animals. Sorting the trash is a wise decision to make disposal more easy.

Once you have collected the garbage, than decide how to handle it. Separate recyclables materials from regular trash to ensure proper disposal. By this process the garbage is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. Initially, separate garbage into three categories:

  • Recyclable materials,
  • Non-recyclables,
  • Hazardous waste (if any).

Clean and sort recyclable items before transporting them to a recycling plant. Partnering with local waste management services[1] for special pick-up that could be advantageous, especially when you have to dispose the bulky rubbish.

Pre-Plan to Handle Hazardous Waste

Protection and following the laws of any locality are possible if we plan on how to deal with dangerous things before they occur. Before cleaning exercise, inform all volunteers about recognizing and managing dangerous materials and collect required cans and other tools for safe gathering and transportation.

Share Your Event for Others’ Motivation

To spread the word about your action, use different social media websites and platforms, such as community boards and forums that discuss the environment.

Share what you have done during your cleanup activity and post photos, videos, or stories to show them how effective your cleaning activity results in.

For broader coverage and support, tag local organizations and influential persons who may either promote or share information regarding your cleaning campaign.

Use joyful words or pictures to promote the message that when we keep our world clean and healthy, it looks beautiful. Good vibes inspire others and in this way many volunteers will be ready to do the same. to protect our natural resources.
