This is one of the campus’s trashcans here at Cerritos College. Most people know that the right thing to do is throw their trash away where it’s suppose to go.

Others forget what trash cans are actually for here in campus. This is an empty Starburst Gummies pack thrown on the side of the walkway on the rocks.

Although these flowers are honestly the cutest things we have on campus, this Nature Valley wrapper ruins beauty of these flowers. FYI these flowers are not trash cans!

Let’s just say this picture was hard to take because this tissue paper kept flying away but here we see this tissue laying on the grass when there was literally a trashcan a few inches down from it.

Talk about trash being right next to trash cans, look at this paper towel right in front of this trash can. How hard was it to reach your arm out just a bit further to throw it away where it belonged? The trash can.

This tissue here has clearly been on these rocks for days now and yet no one has picked it up and thrown it in the trash. If you guys are asking if I picked it up and threw it away?Yes, yes I did.

Not quite sure what this wrapper belonged to but what I do know is that it didn’t belong where it was thrown.

A newspaper next to a tissue under one the buildings near the Gym here at campus.

Look how beautiful these leafs and rocks are. You know what isn’t beautiful? That white tissue on them, why does it always have to be a tissue? JUST THROW IT AWAY!

A newspaper right in the middle of the outside gym, last thing people want to see when they workout is trash. Please pick it up.

A blue bottle cap in the middle of the rocks. Does it look cute? No.

Two plastic wraps and a Corn Nuts bag. These rocks are so pretty, don’t throw your trash on them.

It feels like it’s a pattern that people love to throw their trash on what is the most beautiful, nature. Here is a white piece of trash next to these baeutiful bright plants.

Here is an EMPTY trash can. Why is it empty when there’s clearly a lot of trash on campus that needs to be thrown away?

It seems like a lot of people on campus have forgotten what trash cans are for. Here is a full trash bin, this is where trash is suppose to end up not on plants or rocks or outside gyms. Please pick up after yourselves.
