Winnipeg’s Litter Crisis Is Turning Around | Winnipeg News

Over 12,000 students, 3,700 volunteers, and the Green Wave program — hiring teens to fill buckets of trash daily — are making a huge difference. Despite setbacks like trash reappearing overnight and cigarette butts still topping the list at 30-35%, the visible progress and pride in their work keep crews going. Free ashtrays and neighborhood cleanups are helping, but changing behavior remains the real challenge. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
