Use a Trash Can!
There are trash cans all around campus for the convenience of the campus community. Make sure to always place your trash in either a trash can or recycling bin.
Litter Lasts!
Think before you throw! Litter that is thrown on the ground can persist for many years to come, impacting our community.
Take Care of your Community!
Picking up litter around campus shows that you care for your Bobcat Community. Even if you're just picking up one piece of litter on your way to class, it all makes a difference.
A Lasting Impact
When you make a decision to litter, you are deciding to create a negative impact for years to come. Litter can take decades or even centuries to degrade, leaving plenty of time for it to impact our health and community. As Bobcats who call TXST home, it is all of our jobs to take care of our community and show our pride for TXST. Learning to take care of our community and home is a life time lesson that one should carry with them everywhere they go. A Cleaner Campus Starts Here, Bobcats!
Why Should You Avoid Littering?
By refraining from littering, you can help TXST:
- Show Bobcat Pride
- Foster a healthy campus
- Keep campus beautiful to encourage new students to join the Bobcat community
- Protect the sensitive environment TXST resides in and is surrounded by
By placing your trash in the correct place (the trash can), you are already creating a positive impact for our community. Why not take it a step further and pick up litter that you see while walking around campus? One piece of trash goes a long way!
Get Involved!
The best way to join the campaign is to refrain from littering! If you want to go a step further, participate in clean ups around campus. Whether you would like to participate in an organized clean up or prefer to host your own, everyone can do their part to keep TXST Litter Free.
Self Organized Clean Up
Interested in hosting your own clean up? Check out a clean up kit to host a solo or group clean up yourself. Kits include grabbers, bags, and gloves.
Campus Community Clean Up
MY TXST MY HOME hosts one organized clean up each semester. Sign up to be notified! Next Clean Up: Fall Semester (date TBA)
If your require accommodations due to a disability in order to participate, please contact 512-245-3616 or stormwater@txstate.edu at least 72 hours in advance of the event.
Remember, you do not have to be in a clean up to pick up litter. Challenge yourself to pick up a piece of litter on the way to class or work!
