Is there something better to use than garbage bags for clean ups?
Many groups have found that using 5-gallon pails or heavy-duty feed/grain bags from a local farm supply store or beer brewing company work very well for picking up trash. And best of all, these types of containers can be stored and reused year after year! Some groups have coordinated with their local solid waste hauler to have dumpsters donated for the clean up event. The hauler might be willing to deliver a dumpster to the central clean up site and pick it up following the event. With a dumpster at the central clean up site, volunteers can empty their trash bags or buckets into the dumpster and head back to the stream for more.
