10 good reasons to pack your trash home

Chances are you already pay for trash service at home.  Do you really want to pay for it twice?

 It will save you money.  Leaving trash on the ground earns you a hefty ticket.

 Helps keep recreation fees down and visitor services up.

 Allows park rangers to concentrate on providing more useful visitor services, rather than picking up your trash.

 Encourages recycling, at the dunes and at home.

 Improves the image of duners, and the perception others have of you.

 Your kids play in this sand.  Think about it.

 Protects wildlife and natural resources.

 Reduces congestion at exit points, getting you on the road that much sooner.

 Instills a stewardship ethic and encourages responsibility amongst youngsters.  Besides, it's the right thing to do.
