== Synopsis ==
 
Squidward exits [[122 Conch Street|his house]], saying "Another beautiful Sunday." He goes down the street, dancing, but steps on some [[File:Litterbug.jpg|thumb|A police officer, accusing Squidward of littering.]]gum and falls. He frantically tries to get it loose. He finally does, and tosses the gum aside. Officer John sees the gum and inspects it. He then walks over to Squidward, thinking he littered, and asks Squidward about the gum, to which Squidward replies, "I just stepped in it." Officer John says "Boy, you sure did," and gives him a ticket sentencing him to community service.

He frantically tries to get it loose. When he finally does, the gum is tossed aside. Officer John sees the gum and inspects it. He then walks over to Squidward, thinking he littered, and asks Squidward about the gum, to which Squidward replies that he just stepped in it. Officer John does not believe him, so he gives him a ticket, sentencing him to community service.
   
It then cuts to Squidward picking up trash (with some people giving him their trash), then Squilliam comes along and brags about the statue that was made of him just for cleaning up Bikini Bottom in only one week, to which Squidward replies, "I can clean it up in one day!". Squilliam then gets out a tissue and blows his nose on it, and says "Here, this should get you started.", and drops it on the ground. Officer John comes along, sees the tissue, and thinks Squidward dropped it. He then gives Squidward another ticket.

When Squidward looks for place to put his trash, he sees that all the cans and dumpsters are full, so he "borrows" a kid's toy wagon. Mable sees Squidward with the trash and she tells everyone it's Trash Day, soon the trash in the wagon becomes a trash mountain. SpongeBob comes out of one of the garbage bags and offers Squidward to help him when he discovers the life cycle of a Krabby Patty (one that was thrown out). Squidward says "He'd rather be beaten to a pulp," then the boy and his mother appear, with the boy telling his mother to beat Squidward to a pulp. Squidward is beaten and covered in trash. Officer John thinks Squidward made the mess and gives him another ticket. Squidward then accepts SpongeBob offer and SpongeBob gets rid of all the trash.

[[File:Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful 174.jpg|thumb|200px|Garbage formed a replica of Squidward's house.]]
Squidward goes home and relaxes, until he realizes his house is made of garbage. He runs outside and sees that the [[Squidward's Trash House|garbage was made into a replica of Squidward's house]]. Officer John gives Squidward two tickets (one for the garbage house and one for the first ticket falling on the ground). Squidward gets so angry, his nerves spell out "I am angry." SpongeBob asks why and Squidward finds out his house is on top of the replica because the dump is closed. SpongeBob took it to his house by sucking the garbage onto his body. When SpongeBob talked, garbage came out of his mouth, leading Officer John to give Squidward another ticket.

Squidward puts the trash-filled SpongeBob in SpongeBob's own bin (giving Squidward another ticket for putting his trash in someone else's property). SpongeBob finds that the reason why Squidward wants to get rid of the trash is to get a statue of himself. SpongeBob makes a statue of Squidward made of the garbage. Squilliam says the statue is just like Squidward, having the stench of faliure. The horrible stench melts Squilliam's statue, ruining it, and Squilliam surprisingly gets a ticket from Officer John. Before the end of the episode, Officer John gives both SpongeBob and Squidward get tickets for the statue made of garbage.

Characters

Synopsis

Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful 033

A police officer accusing Squidward of littering.

In the beginning of the episode, Squidward exits his house and deems it to be a beautiful day. He goes down the street, dancing, but steps on some gum and falls. He frantically tries to get it loose. When he finally does, the gum is tossed aside. Officer John sees the gum and inspects it. He then walks over to Squidward, thinking he littered, and asks Squidward about the gum, to which Squidward replies that he just stepped in it. Officer John does not believe him, so he gives him a ticket, sentencing him to community service.

It then cuts to Squidward picking up trash, then Squilliam comes along and brags about the statue that was made of him just for cleaning up Bikini Bottom in only one week, which challenges Squidward to try to clean it up in only one day. Squilliam then gets out a tissue and blows his nose on it and drops it on the ground, to make cleaning up more difficult for him. Officer John comes along, sees the tissue, and thinks Squidward dropped it. He then gives Squidward another ticket.

When Squidward looks for a place to put his trash, he sees that all the cans and dumpsters are full, so he "borrows" a kid's toy wagon. Mable sees Squidward with the trash and she tells everyone it is Trash Day; soon the trash in the wagon becomes a trash mountain. SpongeBob comes out of one of the garbage bags and offers Squidward to help him when he discovers the life cycle of a Krabby Patty that was thrown out. Then the boy and his mother appear, with the boy telling his mother to beat Squidward to a pulp for stealing his wagon. Squidward is thrashed up and covered in garbage. Officer John thinks Squidward made the mess and gives him another ticket. Squidward then accepts SpongeBob's offer and SpongeBob gets rid of all the trash.

Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful 174

Garbage formed a replica of Squidward's house.

Squidward goes home and relaxes until he realizes his house is made of garbage. He runs outside and sees that the garbage was made into a replica of his own house.

Officer John gives Squidward two tickets, one for the garbage house and one for the first ticket falling on the ground. Squidward gets so angry, his nerves spell out "I am angry." SpongeBob asks why and Squidward finds out his house is on top of the replica because the dump is closed. SpongeBob took it to his house by sucking the garbage onto his body. When SpongeBob talks, garbage comes out of his mouth, leading Officer John to give Squidward another ticket.

Squidward puts the trash-filled SpongeBob in SpongeBob's own bin, which gives Squidward another ticket for putting his trash in someone else's garbage bin. SpongeBob finds out that the reason why Squidward wants to get rid of the trash is to get a statue of himself. SpongeBob makes a statue of Squidward made of the garbage.

Squilliam says the statue is just like Squidward, having the stench of failure. The stench melts Squilliam's statue, ruining it, and Squilliam unexpectedly gets a ticket from Officer John. However though, Officer John gives both SpongeBob and Squidward tickets for creating the statue made of garbage, as the episode ends.
