CCCC’s 7 plus one basic ways to keep Prince George’s

car litter bags. Don’t forget to place them in trucks too. Empty and
reuse the litter bags.

exterior of your premises.

Plus! Use
trash/refuse collection services to get rid of extraordinary amounts of
trash. Do not dump garbage/trash on public property or on other people’s
private property. Don’t create perpetual litter by pushing/sweeping it
from one place to another. Instead, pick it up as it accumulates and put a
trash can in
its place.

Never throw trash out the car
window! |
