8 more bags and other "goodies"

We still found a lot of old trash and of course a good amount of mandatory new beer cans and bottles. We also discovered an old gas can and a tire deep down on a hill at the side of the road.

What can we say?

Since weeks I think "Now we've got it, all the old stuff is picked up" but when we start our walk we discover still more old trash along the road, like there is no end to it.



 This one we fished out of the creek:


Beer bottle collection. Definitely the favorite beverage on Old Ballard Road:


Very old trash here:


And more


Then we discovered a nest of beer cans up in the woods:


And here a nice little collection of our findings:


Last bag before the rain started:


We started our walk around 9:30 AM and got home at probably 12:30 PM. Around 3:30 my husband went to pick up the bags with his car and discovered a fresh Chipotle bag on the side of the road. It even had a receipt in it.The litterbug of the day is the owner of the Visa card with the last four digits 4722. Congratulations!


And by the way: One of our biggest supporters gifted us these cool jackets:

And another trash picking Sunday....

A nice still life that I can't resist posting:



Looks like the flowers to the right never made it to the recipient and somebody had to drown their sorrow in a horrible choice of alcohol. So the flowers were an exception but what you see here is typical for what we find. A lot of empty alcohol cans and bottles out there. Our guess is, that the ratio alcohol to non-alcoholic beverages is probably 50:50. And that's a lot for something you are not supposed to do. Anyway - here are our findings (there was another bag that I forgot to take a picture of) and a big THANK YOU to that anonymous person that discharged two of our bags before we could come and get them! It's nice to know that we have helpers out there :-)
