GUIDELINES FOR LITTER REMOVAL FROM LICKING TOWNSHIP ROADWAYS

All litter cleanup volunteers must read and follow these basic safety tips.

Do park vehicles at least five feet beyond the shoulder of the road.
Do wear light or brightly colored, protective clothing as well as gloves (for your protection, Licking Township will be providing surgical gloves to protect your hands from toxic substances) and hard-soled, substantial, high-top leather shoes or boots with good ankle support.
Do wear sunscreen.
Do wear a long-sleeved top and long pants.
Do face oncoming traffic while on foot and look up often to monitor approaching vehicles.
Do work on one side of the roadway at a time.
Do limit trash pickup to the area within the road right-of-way only.
Do stay alert for snakes, poison ivy/oak, and other noxious insects and weeds.
Do be prepared to move out of the way quickly in an emergency.
Do watch your footing. Stay off loose stones and steep slopes.
Do tie the tops of the trash bags securely (don’t overfill-use a new bag). It makes it hard for the crew picking up all the bags if they are not tied closed.
Don’t attempt to overfill, compact or stuff trash bags. Injuries from broken or jagged objects may result. Fill bags with what goes in easily, then, start a new bag.
Do pile the debris that will not fit in a bag in a safe location as you move down the roadway - not one large pile.
Do place filled and tied trash bags at least three feet beyond the shoulder of the road where Licking County Litter Prevention Office personnel can easily retrieve them.
Do provide proper adult supervision for children at all times. No person under the age of 15 is allowed to assist unsupervised in litter removal from road rights of way; however, persons between the ages of 12 and 15 may participate if there is one adult present for every eight participants in this age category.
Do return unused supplies to your section co-leader.
Don’t pick up discarded syringes, hypodermic needles, firearms, and ammunition or drug paraphernalia.
Don’t over-exert yourself. Drink plenty of water
Don’t wear radio or tape headsets, which could interfere with hearing oncoming traffic or other potential hazards.
Don’t horseplay or do anything that will distract passing vehicles or other volunteers.
Do wash your hands after the cleanup.

REMEMBER: Always be alert and safety conscious when working around a roadway. The ultimate success of this program depends on the safety of its participants.
