Cool site. Normally I'm not reporting everybody who throws a butt out their window, but on my way to work today I encountered an airborne Mac Snack Wrap and assorted wrappings that took off out of the drivers side window of an H3.

Awesome find, Chase!!!
According to the website, a letter is sent out to the offender:

And also sent to them is a complimentary vehicle litterbag bag! That's Awesome! 

I'm gonna program the Litter Hotline in to my cell phone for easy dialing. I'll make me feel a little better to have a place to report them to, rather than just watch it happen, get mad and then try to forget about it.

This is awesome, just added it to my phone. I'm probably a little glass is half empty though, I don't see anything about the program having 'teeth' for repeated offenders, and it probably just costs money to send the letter/bag and people that receive it probably just toss it and think people are dumb who care about them tossing their cig butts out their window.

So... I saw someone throwing shit from their window yesterday. Oh Boy, was I STEAMING! Then I remembered the Don't Trash AZ website. So I wrote down all the info.
Today I went to make a report... and I can't submit... constantly saying there is an error.
I emailed them and let them know. Hopefully they will respond.

Also... website says they can't send letters to out of state plates... which this was a loser with FL plates. That's a bummer.

Anyone use this website for reporting lately?

Got a great email response from Kelly... representing Don't Trash AZ. She said that they do occasionally run in to submission issues and they are working on the problem. She said that any reports that don't go through can be email to her (her contact info is under "contact info" on the website.

Point is... it was a nice email saying " thank you for your interest in the environment and taking an interest in litter issues."  So, Thumbs up to them!!! And good luck fixing the site.

Thats awesome. It looks like some really proactive people running this group. They were on TV the other day talking about what they do and why they do it. Hopefully word spreads and they make an impact. I wonder if they have stickers...
