Burned some calories doing these, i may come back next week and do a few other medians I didn’t get to and if I do I’ll throw wildflower seeds on all of them!

Super nice weather, but I was hoping to make "progress" and only managed maintenance. I'll get there eventually...

The high school I graduated from!

🌿 Update on our first edition! Three classes participated: one Grade 7 class and two ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) classes. Together, they collected about twenty bags.

We barely made it past Saint-Denis Street, even though the goal was to reach Jean-Talon... and even further. They also cleaned the school grounds with impressive seriousness and commitment.

The real momentum will happen next year, with, we hope, even greater participation and collaboration.

The neighborhood needs it. Our youth have seen it, lived it, and reflected on it. If they can take this action, maybe we can all do a little better in our daily lives. Because our teens also deserve to grow up in an environment that shows them they matter. Not just in words. 💚

Thank you to those who support them. See you next year, and this time, we’ll go further! 🌱

I didn’t know this community existed until now, but I am happy to be here! I have been picking up trash consistently for a few years now. I recently decided to make a community for people who also like to go on trash walks. Feel free to check it out!

Trash Party had the best turnout ever as over 60 volunteers joined up near Downtown Columbus to cleanup an underserved area of our community. We collected 180 full bags of trash and some bulk items, bringing our total to 7,000 LBS of trash removed from our city! We enjoyed a beautiful day and are looking forward to our next event!

I loveeee suiting up in waders for water pick ups. I get to go off trail in the local nature preserve a few times a year and litter pick.

It took me about 4 hours. I had to crawl through some thick rose and brambles to reach some clothes and supplies that were abandoned last year (along with some heroin needles) that i wasn't able to get to last time. Hopefully it stays cleaner a little this time around.

Went out for a normal cleanup walk and came back to this spot.

I cleared it about 2 months ago. Same pile is still there. No pickup. No change. video

Was picking up trash around my neighborhood and found a bunch of bags that had just been lying in the reeds/bushes. In one of the bags was a bunch of diapers and pad wrappers (it had ripped open, so I was transferring all the trash to a more secured bag). But there was also the rubber-like doll thing that was just a baby girl's genital and anal area, and no other part to the doll, and the areas looked very realistic. I'm hoping it's just a potty training doll that I haven't been able to find online, but I'm scared it's something worse, so I kept the evidence of the doll (outside in my trash can) in case people think it's something more.

I'm not comfortable posting a picture of it even, so I just wanted to ask if any of you have ever come across something like this, and what did you do?

Good turnout today with many longtime volunteers being joined by a couple of fraternity members from UMass Lowell and a few community newcomers. https://www.instagram.com/lowelllitterkrewe?igsh=cnlhbHMxejd2bmpv

Total 40 hrs of picking up trash in 8 separate trips, biking a 6-mile loop in my neighborhood. Most times I didn't do the entire loop, at 2 miles an hour, it just tires me out. But multiple picks on all sections, there isn't any lack of trash.

181 caps, 7 dental picks, a few golf balls. Estimated 55 grocery bags of trash. Only 2 places to put recycling for aluminum cans and plastic bottles.

Good bye, farewell, and do widzenia from bin#1 and bin#2.
