Trick or treat, keep your wrappers off the street! As you’re snacking between houses on October 31, don’t let your candy wrappers fly away. A tiny wrapper can travel a long way in the wind, right into our streets, streams and ponds. Keep candy and other food wrappers tucked safely in your treat bag or pocket until you get home to put them in the trash.

Waukee trick or treating is on Saturday, October 31 from 6-8 p.m. As you’re planning your route, here are a few things to consider before heading out the door.

1. Make sure your costumes fit well to prevent falls.
2. Try face paint instead of a mask so you can clearly see where you’re going.
3. Add flashlights or glow sticks to your costume so you’re more visible.
4. Keep track of costume pieces and candy wrappers so they don’t end up as litter.

And don’t forget to change your clocks after Halloween. Daylight Saving Time ends on November 1.
