Tips for SuccessA camera isn't really a clean-up tool, but pictures add tremendously when you look back on what a great achievement it was, and build everyone's pride in participating.Digging, heaving, and lifting can be tiring, so bring along appropriately seasonal (hot or cold) drinks in a thermos, along with some rewarding snacks, and take regular breaks. Finally, a tip from the Annual Spring Roadside Clean-Up campaigns in recent years: more and more groups have been winding up a successful day with a participants' get-together. Sometimes whole communities get involved. A picnic or a barbeque is not only a great way to celebrate a good day's work; it's also the ideal time to involve others in planning the next clean-up. |
