Every LITTER bit hurts our environment. Let's do our part Lake Wales! Please discard trash in garbage or recycling bins. It’s the right thing to do. The most commonly-littered items include: cigarette butts, fast food packaging, alcoholic beverage containers, plastic bags and bottles. Littering makes our environment look less favorable, and it can endanger or kill wildlife, damage waterways and increase the risk of fires. Litter can also attract bacteria and spread disease directly or indirectly. Let’s unite and keep Lake Wales beautiful.
