Below is a list of things most commonly found by litter crews and how long they would take to biodegrade if not properly recycled
I hope you enjoyed this county-wide, year-long Bee Passionate Tennessee Cheatham Anti-Litter Program with each issue of Let’s Talk Trash! It has been a pleasure sharing stories, puzzles and fun facts to help create the awareness of how litter negatively impacts our community. Not just here but all over the country as litter has become a huge and expensive clean up project. Wouldn’t it be great if we could use the eleven million dollars spent (just in Tennessee) on cleaning up our roadways for our schools! This is a fact that we can change by working together.
