Litter & Waste:

Quick Facts... Risks...

It’s all around - pick it up!

It is as easy as it looks; yet so much trash still ends up on the ground. Some 75% of Americans admit to littering within the last five years; so do your part to make sure all of your garbage ends up in the can and, whenever possible, reduce, reuse, and recycle!

Do it for everyone... Litter and trash can lead to numerous problems in a community like polluted waterways, rummaging rodents and pests, and hazards to the health and safety of residents - to name a few. The issue doesn’t stop there. There is also the threat of improper storage and/or disposal of vast waste products and materials around the house that contribute to litter problems.

Other facts about litter:

-Over 51 billion pieces of litter end up on U.S. Roadways each year!

Research suggests that 52% of this waste is from motorists and another 23% comes from pedestrians. That costs the United State $11.5 billion dollars every year to clean up. Do your part and make sure your garbage ends up in the can!

-In 2007, more than 1,000 Utah car accidents we caused by litter.

Not only are there environmental repercussions to litter, but our safety on roads may be compromised as well. Secure objects in truck beds or on top of the car to be sure they don’t contribute to these statistics!

-According to national estimates, American homes contain between 3 and 8 gallons of hazardous material.

They are found in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and garages and can range from medications to cleaning products to various chemicals and solvents. Handle these products as directed and dispose of them properly.

-In 2009, recycling and composting prevented 82 million tons of waste from ending up in landfills!

This kept 178 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the environment. That’s the equivalent of taking 33 million cars off the road for one year! Do your part to minimize waste - recycle!

-Americans throw away an estimated 179,000 tons of batteries each year.

Batteries can contain alkaline, carbon zinc, mercury oxide, silver oxide, zinc air and lithium. While most of these words are unfamiliar, it’s important to understand that they pose threats to the stability of our environment. Dispose of batteries properly!

-It takes a plastic jug one million years to decompose!

Aluminum cans - up to 500 years; disposable diapers - 550 years; shoes - up to 45 years; even a paper sack takes one month to decompose. Do what you can to get trash into the can and keep Rose Park beautiful.

-According to the EPA, 200 million gallons of used oil are disposed of improperly every year.

There is much money to be saved in changing your oil at home; but the environmental costs of oil improperly disposed is much greater. Find out where you can take used motor oil here.

-It’s estimated that Americans use up to 100 billion plastic bags every year!

Plastic bags can take 500 years to decompose. Minimize this problem by purchasing reusable bags from the grocer.

-Only 11% of plastic bottles made it to recycling in the United States in 2002.

That left 1.3 million tons of plastic (about 11% of all waste) to be taken to landfill. Recycling water and soda bottles is an easy way to reduce litter and keep plastic from the landfill.

-About 3.2 million tons of electronic waste goes to landfills every year.

This might include old computers, cell phones, DVD players, and the like. Many components in these products can be recycled or need to be disposed of properly. Find out where to take your old electronics here.
