Many of our parks do not have trash receptacles, so please take your trash and recyclables with you to help us keep your parks clean and beautiful!
Why pack it out?
Packing out what you pack in is good for your parks and the environment! Help us keep parks beautiful and our environment healthy for all to enjoy by bringing your trash with you to throw away and recycle ♻ at home.
