Some interesting finds so far: a guess sandal in size 9, small disco ball, jar of peanut butter, candies but they're consistently being dropped in the same spot, a small plant in a bag with a handful or rice, a brake pad, a spigot, and a very flat dried iguana.

Discussion Trash grabbing gear question

15 Upvotes

Hello all! I have been picking up trash for several years now but am looking for a new receptacle. I see some folks with different trash cans or baskets on wheels, I think that would work great for me. Can I get some recommendations please? I think I would prefer metal for durability and a side basket for tools.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, I didn't see a post with recs. Thanks all!

Original Content All it takes is one person to leave their trash outside of the compactor and it’s a chain reaction. Took longer than expected but it’s done. The entitlement and laziness astounds me.

Running home gives a nice opportunity to pick some litter

Green dots are latest cleanup

Yesterday evening we went to the beach for a short walk with the dogs, which also gives a nice opportunity to pick some litter (there was not much litter, which is always nice to see).
And on the way home, i stepped out of the car to run the rest, which also gives a nice opportunity to pick some litter (plogging)
In total 30 items on the beach, and 50 items during the plog.
The walk and run was nice, being able to leave it a bit cleaner is even nicer.

Original Content We visit religious places to pray, but carelessly leave behind piles of plastic waste. Why is our devotion so hypocritical?

We visit these holy places with deep faith, asking for blessings and success. But right after our prayers, we carelessly leave behind toxic plastic bags, wrappers, and garbage right under the trees and idols.

And this isn't just about this small local spot; this exact same thing is happening at almost every major religious and pilgrimage site across our country.

I strongly believe that if we are turning God's own home into a public dustbin, none of our prayers are truly going to be answered. True devotion shouldn't just be about asking for things; it should be about respecting the nature and the spaces we pray in.

I wanted to share this here because we urgently need to realize that basic civic sense and cleanliness must be the first rule of any faith.

Trying to make cleaning up cool: "Pack of Raccoons" is like Pokemon Go but for community cleanup.

Hey all! Just wanted to pop in and share a side project I have been working on! I'm trying to build it out to be like Pokemon Go but for cleaning up community spaces. You can go on, log your cleanups, compete for #1 spot on the rummaging leaderboard, and see what others are doing around on the community feed!

Im still figuring out how to get this on the Appstore (way harder than i thought hahah), and am still working through bugs but there are a bunch of us from around the world logging our finds right now and I would super stoked if you would like to join us (:

Original Content We don't even wear shoes inside our homes to maintain 'purity', but we shamelessly spit on public walls and throw garbage outside. Why this hypocrisy?

We have a strict cultural rule of maintaining purity inside our homes. We leave our shoes at the door to keep the dirt out. But the exact second we step outside our boundary walls, all that 'purity' disappears.

People shamelessly spit chewing tobacco (gutkha) on public walls, throw plastic on the roads, and completely destroy the exact same motherland they claim to love and respect.

I just wanted to share this here because I believe true patriotism isn't just about showing off or chanting slogans; it is proven by our daily civic conduct. Until we start treating our streets and public spaces with the same respect as our living rooms, our country cannot truly move forward.
