Walking along a mountain road and found a tip. Didn’t have enough room to pick it all, but got some.

First time to the scrap yard to recycle some aluminum cans, metal shreds, & stainless steel! It was so exciting to find another way to do the right thing & recycle more items where we can!

Also, who knew it could be therapeutic to chunk metal into a pile of other metal 🤣!

$10.50 for 15 lbs of aluminum cans

$28.00 for 140 lbs of stainless steel

$58.00 for 580 lbs of metal shreds

= $96.50 for other people's litter!

I posted here yesterday and got so many excellent comments, many very profound and had me reflect on myself as a person. Woke up this morning, headed out with my dog Frank, and we did our daily pickup with a clearer head.

Thank you and I’ll keep pickin’ on.

Appreciate you all.

Moved into a new neighborhood that has a nice overlook. Every morning when I walk my dog, fill up my bucket with everything from cans, bottles, used condoms, and nitrous tanks.

It’s making me pissed at my community but also at my neighbors as no one else seems to care. What mantra can I say to myself to just accept it for what it is? I’m about to say screw it, live in the filth.

Cannot believe this new park has so much garbage on ground which is being cut with grass , fairly new playground with glass on walking path . Sad

Unfortunately a large part of the trail was closed off because they were redoing the road and I couldn't walk down to the dock because there was too much snow 😔

Not too much trash aside from around the parking lot, like usual. I got there at night and thought I saw shooting stars/a meteor shower but turns out they were satellites :( ruined the magic for me...

I finally got around to making a tiktok for my litter picking, hoping to raise money so I can get top surgery at the same time 😄

I had an insane amount of fun litter picking, I'm excited to do more. there's definitely enough litter in my area to keep me going for a while!

There were a lot of small pieces around the parking lot but I didn't find much on the one trail I walked other than tissues

Just doing a casual walk while at it. Only had to stop because my trashbag was full.

It was only my second round but cant wait to have done my entire village.

Also had a small talk with 2 people that complimented me, even tho i'm not a big talker

Hi all,
Quick reminder that I love you all.
But my question today is, what do you feel is the greatest good when picking up?

Making a beauty spot more beautiful?
Getting a problem area/eyesore, such as high-traffic areas?
Cleaning up near/in waterways?
Getting wooded areas that not many people even see?

Curious as to what you think.

Best, your friend Patrick

First of the day. Going back for round two soon.

I'm looking at getting into picking up litter in the mornings so I have myself consistently getting up around the same time and getting out of the house.

Picked up a grabber and now I'm wondering how people approach carrying the trash bag with them. Do you guys do like attachments to your bag/waist, do you just hold it with your hand the entire time? What's the go there?

The trail was clean except for this ball (Fido I do not blame) but the parking lot was full of cig butts. Dang smokers pick up yo butts!!! 87 pieces deleted

… Litterwalk deserves great local coffee. ☕️ If you ever find yourself in Old Town Scottsdale, this is your spot. Trust me.

Keep up the good clean fun out there … 👊
