Littering Forests

I stay in a beautiful village near airport in Dehradun . I have found the villagers here throw garbage in the forests nearby , may be that is because no waste collection team comes here to collect waste . But here the people are habituated to burn their waste which includes plastics, which i know is not good but better than dumping in the jungle . I really want to save the jungles here , since its home to wildlife and also we deserve to live in neat places . Kindly help me out in the matter
