Litter: Who Is Responsible?

I still get disgusted by the waste and the thoughtlessness of others. Why should the very people who do not litter get stuck cleaning up for the people who do? Doesn’t this let the perpetrators off scot-free? Aren’t we just reinforcing that no matter what the dumpers throw out, some do-gooder will come along and clean up after them?

Our services include:

  • Fun classroom presentations for kids grades K-12 that correspondence with State standards
  • Classes here at the Depot or in the community on topics such as composting, the 3 R’s, reducing household hazardous waste, and conserving natural resources
  • Talks for civic or community groups on topics related to our mission
  • A lending library of books and DVDs, including some of the latest documentaries
  • On-site tours of the Recycle Depot
