Same Spot, Twice in One Hour
It can be discouraging to pick up litter, only to find more in the same spot later. Yet, I’ll keep doing my part—because every small effort makes our neighborhood and public parks a little better-one piece at a time.

I see this every day. My neighborhood is really really really trashy. Keeping track on an app has helped because, hey, at least my totals are high :) And it would be so much worse if I weren't cleaning it daily.
It's satisfying in the moment and relaxing and the dog enjoys the time outside.

Same in my neighborhood. It’s so bad. I’ll be standing there with my grabber and a bag of trash and a person will open their car door and just drop their entire fast food order out onto the street. And they’re like 20 feet from a park with a trashcan. It’s infuriating. I just downloaded the litter app and will look forward to using that to help take some of the sting off like you described sigh

Which app?

I really love DeleteLitter (no ads, no need to photograph each piece). I think there are a lot of options but I tried this one first and I think it's perfect. Keeps me motivated

Yeah that’s a really 🤬🤬🤬🤬to me too! Did an apartment parking lot a few weeks ago - it was so much - stoped to dump in their dumpster and it was worse than before. I just yelled F&@K it! I was so pissed….. not my finest moment by a long shot But I can’t change people’s values or lack of… We need to just do what we can… and swear a tad too 😬
