The Nov 8 Clean-Up was a Huge Success!

Sunday, November 8, 2020

We had so many people show up today - here are some statistics about today's haul. 

About 23 people showed up at the Corp Yard to drop off their bags of litter, where we collected about 66 bags of trash, which weighed in about about 250 pounds. Those bags of trash filled up the Trash Truck. In addition to that, other #Litterati also let me know they had collectively picked up an additional 15 bags of trash, which they disposed of themselves. We also canvassed approximately 44 miles of city streets and shoreline (that includes both sides of the street). Here is a link to the map, the colors represent routes taken by our members: Link to map.

That is simply amazing! You all need to pat yourselves on the back for a job very well done!

There are some pictures below, and more pictures here  at this picture link.

Here are a couple of litter stories as told by our Facebook members: 

Carolyn: I found a golf disc in the bushes behind the huge dumpster at the Community park (also a ton of liquor bottles). It had a name and number sharpied on it so I thought I would message the guy to see if he wanted it. He answered immediately and said he was baffled as he lost that disc over two years ago! He now lives in LA. He really wanted to have it back, so I am going to mail it to him tomorrow. One man's trash is another man's treasure, literally! Felt good to do something nice for someone. We all need to feel positive right now !

Bobbi: I found a pair of men’s underwear, several condoms, a glass candlestick, and lots and lots of cigarette butts!
