Although it does not help to prevent the problem, it reduces the impact:
On the last day of one camping event, we held a competition for the
children- they were each given a bag and asked to collect trash.  Prizes
were awarded for most trash collected, most unique piece of trash, non-trash
items that were found.

We gave small prizes to all participants (candies).  With a 'clean-up crew'
numbering 20 or so we had the site in better condition to the way we found
it within an hour, and found an earring, a knife and a roll of duct tape
besides!

In service
