Put more trash cans in Pinellas!

The Issue

Littering is a major problem within Pinellas County. Plastic bags, food waste, and foam packaging are just a few of the contaminants you might see scattered around. Many people in the community rely on public buses and walking as their main forms of transportation and may throw away items on the ground because of the lack of available trash cans.

 

One way you can help is by signing this petition. Having trash cans in areas where people walk can reduce the amount of waste produced. It can promote people to recycle and dispose of trash responsibly.
