We are a group of six people called the Garbage Slammers. We are cleaning up the litter in Holladay, Utah to make our neighborhood cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable.
Our Goals are to help rid the City of Holladay of litter. We also hope to raise awareness about the growing problem of litter in the city. We want to help people realize the effects of litter on the quality of the environment and the lives people have.
It's surprising how easily litter gets on the streets of the world. Here are the top 7 ways litter gets on the streets of our cities. (as obtained from http://www.greenecoservices.com/the-high-cost-of-litter-millions-of-taxpayer/)
