Easy Simple Ways To Prevent Littering From Happening

What You Can Do to Prevent Litter ?
Choose not to litter.  Make the commitment now to join with thousands of other Americans to not be a litter-bug. 
  • Educate friends and family on the litter laws in Tennessee
  • Remind others not to litter and why. 
  • Get a litter bag or portable ash receptacles to share.
  • Volunteer in your community to help prevent and cleanup litter—from cigarette butts to illegal dumps.

  • Every Individual

    • Set an example for others, especially family, co-workers, friends, and children by using trash and/or recycling receptacles and not littering.
    • Always have available a litter bag in your car.
    • If you are a smoker, carry and use a portable or pocket ashtray.
    • If you see litter, pick it up.

    Smokers

    • Before you light up, identify where you will dispose of your cigarette waste when you finish smoking. Use trash and ash receptacles, including pocket ashtrays.
    • Carry a pocket ashtray all the time or have a portable ashtray with you as you leave your home, office, or car.
    • Encourage fellow smokers to be responsible for their cigarette litter, too.
