Sunday garbage walk |
So, every other Sunday (or thereabouts) when we head out on our walk with the dogs, we pick up all the garbage we run across. Dan mostly does all the picking up (rather than me) because he has an inordinate amount of energy and a much less finicky back than I do.

Up all night to get lucky |
Case in point was the pair of underwear we found in the alley behind the main street restaurants. Someone either had a lucky or very unlucky Saturday night!
It's actually quite amazing what a huge difference spending an hour picking up garbage in a small town can make. Dan used to do the same thing in the Ballard area of Seattle, but it hardly made a dent. Which is why doing it here is so satisfying especially since it takes so little effort.
He gets all the credit for this! I'm really just along for the ride, pointing out what I spot and providing some encouragement (although I'm the one who needs it when faced by angry dogs in alleyways). But I do get the satisfaction of helping keep our small town looking well cared by pitching in and helping as a supplement to what the city does to keep it clean!

We have paid recycling for bottles and cans. You'd be making a side hustle if you had it there!
Excellent, well done! You're making the world a better, slightly less trashy place. This is also the kind of local effort that can inspire others. Maybe more people will follow your lead pick up trash too, or start a movement to encourage visitors to leave less trash in the first place?! Magic can happen when people see that members of their community care.
As an old recycling manager at the University of Arizona, I recommend being very careful about glass, sharp metal and syringes (ugh). Good to wear heavy gloves and watch out. Do you have one of those picker-upers?
@String Theory - No kidding! Sadly there's no recycling for glass bottles in this county, but we really should start separating aluminum cans for recycling.
@El Gaucho - Thanks! We've had a number of people thank us for what we are doing. Hopefully it will inspire people to at least pick up the random bottle here and there, if not reconsider what they are doing with their own garbage.
@Unknown - We avoid anything remotely dangerous, but so far we haven't run across any broken glass, metal and no syringes (thankfully).
