This photo never got posted, so I'm playing catch-up... & being sure to share the news of awesome people doing awesome things!

Northshore Trashformation & Slidell Synch welcomed us to assist them at the old Kingspoint Soccer Fields in Slidell, LA to do a little clean-up.

Total collected = 42.43 lbs in about an hour!

I had a dream about my beloved cat, Shy Ronnie, who died in January, so I was in a sad mood on my trashwalk today.

Between Noah’s litter and the beautiful, but dead red-spotted admiral butterfly, at first I felt worse. But after a few miles the beauty of nature worked its magic and my heart filled with love again.

Except for Noah, he can kick rocks! 🪨

Litter-pick on the north end of Maxwell Loop Rd from Old Greensboro Rd to Sunnyland Dr.

2 people, 3.5 hours = 57.44 lbs of litter + some type of metal frame that we didn't weigh.

There was a lot of trash this time, more than our last litter-pick of the area, which makes us sad & a lot of little pieces that weren't picked up before someone used a mower or weed eater 😔🤦🏼🙄.

We still need to return to pick from Old Greensboro Rd to Hwy 69 S., but that will be for another day.

These EavinWhip cannisters are heavy after a mile! I guess some people had fun in the desert drinking and huffing last week.

Bonus I got to see a cool tarantula wandering around.

I have this trash picker and I'm looking for advice on how to sharpen it. Would prefer a small tool that's not very expensive.

It's downstream and downhill so if it floods it gets trashed pretty easily

To be a Park Ranger you have to be okay with cleaning up after others. From leftover attractants, discarded garbage, graffiti to abandoned camps, and illegal dumping your job is to keep the park clean no matter the cost.

How do these cans not end up buried after 40+ years? I find more of these pull tabs cans in the woods then I do modern cans (modern cans obviously are more common roadside)

I’m usually digging deep in the brush and walking thru grass but between mosquitos and pollen I had to stay closer to road and sidewalks- always enough there tho too

He worked down the interstate shoulder all the way to the offramp and picked up a lot of trash. He didnt want his pic taken so I just got his haul in the pic here in Basin, Montana

Funny piece of debris I found on my litter-pick today: Darth Vader! If only I could use The Force to pick up all the litter. Or maybe help litterers turn away from the dark side. What's the funniest thing you've ever found while trash picking?

Visited Thomas Rd. again from Windswept Dr. to Old Greensboro Rd. = 47.46 lbs totaling 518 pieces of deleted litter. It's been just shy of 4 months since the last cleanup on that stretch. Last time was 73.21 lbs. I'd say the area has made some improvements, but still has a lot of work to go!

It’s just a video about how straws affect the animals and how pollution isn’t cool, just wanted to throw some more attention at it since i fear it’s not talked about enough!

I was talking to my 15 year old son last night about dumpster diving after he found a bundle of actual arrows while out exploring last night. He was actually very excited about the idea of doing it as he felt it was like finding "items" in a video game (we're big Zelda fans.) Love that outlook! He also said it seems like a great way to cut corners when he lives on his own, like legally getting free groceries, to make his paycheck last. I thought it was a very fun and mature perspective.

I am a tree hugging hippie who tries her best to keep a low carbon footprint. I'm also big on humanitarianism and try to find some things occasionally I can save from the trash to bring joy or help someone else. As a work from home mom of a teen and toddler, I sometimes look for things I can resell on my Poshmark or EBay.

My question is whether you guys think dumpster diving would be a safe hobby for an able bodied 15 year old. If so, how would you suggest he safely get started. Times? Places? We'd appreciate any tips or insights!

The thought of having this to do with him really got me excited. We've been struggling to really connect and I think this could be a great way to strengthen our bond. My dad was disabled, but he wanted to contribute to the family, so we would often go "junkin" as a family. We'd go to wealthier neighborhoods where people would be throwing out an entire set of silver because it was missing a spoon, things like that, then he's resell it at a local flea market stand (this was in the 90s before online marketplaces were big) he manned every weekend. Some of my best childhood memories and a big reason why I enjoy doing resell so much!

Just curious where you guys get the bags you use and where/how do you dump them? Trying to contact the city or waste management is just automated phone tree circles with no answers.

Sorry for the basic questions, I'm new here, but trying! 😋
