Basics
- This page aims to go over the Remediation (ie Cleanup) of Litter (Most of which can also be under the umbrella of “Plastic Pollution”
- While this is not THE solution (“if you want to stop the house flooding, you must turn off the tap” etc) Single Use Plastic Alternatives / Litter Reduction Strategies etc will be discussed elsewhere!
Scope
- The Approach Depends on Location
- Carpet-Like Heavily Maintained Turfgrass such as in Lawns or Highway Medians etc may allow for somewhat “fresh” litter to be Easily Visibly Discernible, and quickly collected by hand, with grabbers, or swept up with Brooms/Rakes and Shovels etc
- Heavily Weathered Litter in Unmaintained Areas, or Buried underneath Soil/Vegetation is far more difficult to Visually “pick out”, and may require more careful (and time consuming) collection
- Marine Litter is deserving of it’s own page, although in Tributaries/Streams etc, having equipment on hand when remediating “on shore” may still be of use
- Since ‘’’there is plastic in the wind and rain’’’ etc no area can TRULY be clean, but Micro/Nano-Plastic Pollution Remediation is also worth having it’s own page
