86it - Wake County's Anti-Littering Campaign
Have you heard the term “86it”? Its origins are debatable (give it a Google), but more importantly it means, “to get rid of something; to throw it out.” We like it because it’s a pretty cool way of asking someone to throw something away, and that’s how we talk here in Wake County. To further our sentiment, we want all of us 86ers to show trash cans some respect, because they have feelings, too. And if the can ain’t respected, the ground is disrespected. Let’s Respect the Can.
Feeling motivated to do some 86ing in Wake County? You bring the 86ers and we’ll provide the tools to make your cleanup a success with our 86it Litter Kits. Each kit contains gloves, safety vests, litter grabbers and garbage bags.
