For most of the year the West River Neighborhood has a team that goes out every Sat. morning and picks up litter. Maybe your neighborhood assoc. could organize a weekly pickup as well. We still have litter but less of it. If all neighbors just pick up in front of their own residence,(tenants as well as homeowners), that would greatly reduce the volume. Gloves and a garbage bag are all the tools you need.

We don't throw our garbage into the middle of our living room so why do people throw their garbage in their outside living space? People have to be taught to respect our environment. There are littering laws. Too bad we can't enforce them.

Thanks for the response. I'm excited about the neighborhood cleanup. Very ironically, I will be traveling out of the state that day, but I will look forward to other similar events!

I hear ya ! I see people throw trash out their car windows while I'm cleaning up the litter. It's very depressing and it needs to be taught at the Elementary level and beyond to let kids know they need to take more pride in where they live.
The thaw brings out more trash from the months of frozen ice and snow. Like parkfriend stated If everyone took 10 minutes a week to clean in front of their house and 20 ft on each side it makes a huge difference.
I personally cleanup as much as I can, but it's a losing battle than needs to be addressed.
License plates if you see people littering- our district manager will address if you report.

Correction to our original post- West Rock/West Hills is having a Neighborhood Clean Up Day on Saturday, April 5, 2014. Thanks
