The last two Sundays of the year

We've been out on Old Ballard Road Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. The latter was especially cold! A nice gentleman stopped by and wanted to thank us by spending money to our favorite charity. How nice of him! We declined though :-)
Here are our findings, although I have to point out that the small bag of the second picture is inside the large bag of the third picture.

A new helper!

Today we had a helper from the Candlewyck neighborhood - Rob - who helped us clean up the road.

We found a lot of large wine bottles, even a 1.5 liter bottle!

More stuff

Today we found not as much as usual - just filled two bags:

Husband alone

I couldn't join him - too much leaves to take care of. Here are his "treasures":

 

And a little more

On a beautiful Sunday we went out again.There is a new spot in the woods where we find now for the second time a gigantic filled up trash bag.

Other than that our findings where not so much, since my husband cleared out the obvious pieces by bike on Saturday and brought the bag to the Ivy Nursery's trash bin (so no documentation of that).

But a very rare find in the bag below :-)

Sunday, trashy Sunday...

Due to travel commitments and heavy rain last Sunday we didn't go on tour for 3 weeks. A lot of stuff accumulated. We found an already filled trash bag in the middle of the woods:

We also found a collection of cans in a card board box.

And of course lots of cans and bottles and wrappers. So here is the rest:

A ray of hope?

Saturday my husband made a quick bike trip down OBR and picked up a bag that he disposed at the Ivy Nursery. So no pictures of that.
Sunday we walked again and we were able to fill a whole bag - still one bag short compared to the 3 bags average.

The last two weekends....

My husband took a quick trip by bike last Sunday and collected a bag full.

This Sunday we filled only 2 bags - one less than usually.

3 bags per weekend

This seems to be the steady pattern. I forgot to post last weekend, so here are our findings of the last two weekends combined:

And now even a piece of carpet

...because it's so easy to just throw it out of the car!

Other than that we filled two good bags

Way more than we thought

After my husband went out Saturday by bike and collected 3 bags we thought we just had to pick up a few leftovers. But it turned out to be a lot. We filled 6 bags and found even more stuff that has to wait until next weekend.

 

 

Summertime on Old Ballard Road

Here is what we found during the last 2 weekends.

The most disgusting trash collection ever

Somebody must have dumped is weekly household trash just in the steep curve of Old Ballard Road.

Old wet disgusting trash. They didn't even bother to eliminate old mail, so we might have an idea who it is.

Other than that we found our usual bags full.

Do we have a secret helper?

After 3 weeks we went out collecting again, and it looks like somebody picked up a lot already. We didn't find a 3 weeks load. Just 4 little bags.
