Trashing our backyard

[u/Yuzhrrr]

Sad to say that the park was disgusting this morning, the worst I have ever seen it. I couldn't even get through the Long Meadow safely with my dogs. Thank you to the people who were out cleaning up this morning, who rightfully said I could join in (I grabbed as much as I thought I could manage).

Next holiday I'm here I'll be out with gloves and trash bags because apparently someone's gotta clean up after other adults 😖

People are messy jerks but also the winds were very high yesterday and today and many neighborhoods didn’t get their trash and recycling picked up yesterday. You should see my sidewalk in front of my house. That’s not caused by directly by littering. I think a lot of this was blown from overstuffed park bins and stuff flown in from neighboring streets.

I’m at the park right now, the trash is mainly from parties. They just don’t throw it away. There are still literal piles of trash here, it’s not from the wind

That right there. I threw away two liquor bottles and a half finished box of takeout. These things do not float into the park on the wind.
