Some say Old Hickory Village is the best kept secret
in nashville. That's why it's up the US to keep it clean and beautiful. By coming together and doing our part to take care
of our little community, we can protect and prolong it's life for generations to come. If every Villager did a simple task daily or weekly it will have a big impact on the
Village. Below are some easy tips that will help you get started. To learn more ways to help, volunteer or get involved send
us an email info@OldHickory.org.
Every Individual- Set an example for others, especially family, co-workers, friends, and children
by using trash and/or recycling receptacles and not littering.
- Always have available a litter bag in your car.
- If you are a smoker, carry and use a portable or pocket ashtray.
- If you see litter, pick it
up.
Motorists- Carry
and use a car litterbag. When these are full, empty them into a trash and/or recycling receptacle.
- Use a car ashtray or portable ashtray to dispose
of cigarette butts and lighting material.
- Do not throw any litter out of vehicle windows.
Smokers- Before
you light up, identify where you will dispose of your cigarette waste when you finish smoking. Use trash and ash receptacles,
including pocket ashtrays.
- Carry a pocket ashtray all the time or have a portable ashtray with you as you leave your home, office, or car.
- Encourage fellow smokers to
be responsible for their cigarette litter, too.
Pet Owners- Pick
up after your dog as you walk through your neighborhood. Use newspaper delivery bags, "scoopers", or other
easy-to-use methods to clean up after your pet.
- Be sure to put pet waste in trash receptacles and not recycling bins.
- Take responsibility for your pet and his/her actions.
Community Residents- Make
sure your trash cans have lids that can be securely fastened or use bungee cords to hold them in place.
- Secure all bags and use twine to secure loose trash
for curbside trash collection.
- Tie paper into bundles before placing into curbside recycling bins.
