Anti-litter Tools

CPIA believes that everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment. And, to help you address litter problems in your community, CPIA has made available a number of tools that can help you implement anti-litter programs and engage citizens in responsible anti-litter behaviour.

• What can you do? -  we have identified a number of suggestions and activities that can help you improve your waste management practices. Please take a moment to browse through some of these ideas.
   
• Learn more about Waste - a host of information that speaks to CPIA's Product Stewardship Model (which talks about the roles and responsibilities that we all have to play during the lifespan of a product or package), as well as information on plastics and the environment.  
  
• Benefits of All Plastic Bottles - highlights reasons why municipalities are moving toward an all plastic bottle collection system, as opposed to a system that asks householders to identify the different types of plastics acceptable via resin identification codes. This area also references some system tools and literature currently available to municipalities.  
  
• Great Canadian Shoreline Clean Up - Sign up to do your part to help rid our waterways of unsightly litter. In September of every year, Canadians across the country join hundreds of thousands of volunteers around the world in an international effort to clean up the shorelines of our world’s oceans, lakes and waterways.
