Organizing a Community Trash Removal Day

Trash removal is something that every person needs to think about for their residence. It is also essential for business owners. What you might wish to do for your neighborhood is to organize a clean-up day that will enhance your surroundings and be good for the environment. This is a good opportunity to bring families together and get them outdoors and helping each other to beautify the community.

Organizing a trash removal event is easy if you know how to prepare for it. Get ready to enhance the place where you live to make it cleaner for everyone!

You need to choose a day for the trash removal event. Select a date that is approximately two to four months away. Planning as far in advance as possible is always smart. Choose a second date as a backup in the event of rain or other inclement weather conditions.

Your best bet is to select an area in your community that is heavily used and tends to draw people on a regular basis. Parks are a good example of an area that might need a good clean up. Lakes, beaches and areas that are found along roads that are travelled frequently could use some help in the trash removal department. Just make sure you make plans to clean up an area that will be safe for everyone involved.

It is strongly recommended that you ask for permission from the county, city or town before you start making serious plans to round up the garbage in an organized event. Doing so makes you a responsible and conscientious citizen of the community.

Once you receive permission to hold a trash removal event you can then move forward with your plans. Organize a committee to publicize the outdoor makeover and then ask for volunteers. Some of the best sources for soliciting people to help include schools in your town, churches, synagogues and special interest groups.

You will need to make up fliers and then put them up in strategic areas of your community. Distribute as many throughout your neighborhood and your city or town as you can. The more creative and colorful you make them the better. Ask committee members to help get the word out and to put up fliers in designated spots. The more visible the fliers are the better this bodes for the turnout on the day.

Find out if you can post fliers in grocery stores and other local stores. Also check into schools, community bulletin boards in recreation centers and malls, fitness facilities, beauty salons, veterinarians, churches and the like.

For even greater visibility post information about the upcoming plan on websites such as Craigslist. Prepare a press release and send it to local newspapers or find out if your town or city will post a sign on a busy street for little to no money.
