A group ride or similar gimmick by ACE
for getting people's butts off the couch,
other places might use a court order like
Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant
Thanksgiving Massacree or similar
with the 8x10 glossy prints
labelled on the back,
and another case of American Blind Justice...
So trash bag, and clear recycling bag,
Sometime, in my case,
going back in the early morning,
during cooler times, when feeling better...
Warned by the family helping out,
3 sets of bags amongst them,
One big one I carried to the main intersection, on my bike,
Swinging off the handlebars,
Where I was holding it,
A pendulum, like groceries, etc sometimes done,
Slow and steady, using the weight to balance, no sudden movements, like on snow and ice,
Gentle as she goes,
Realizing, stopping takes longer, and starting,
going further,
talking to others to go ahead,
but not make me miss the light, a timed hawk type light,
countdown timer of how long we have before
heavy traffic smooshes us, etc...
A good technique, bringing a trailer and being the trash truck,
but that deprives some others of learning how to say
carry water to an evening campsite,
from the camp store,
local convience store,
grocery store,
MegloMart,
big box store,
And/or farmers market, etc...
Poison ivy
Someone (the mom) suggested long pants
I had a hiviz safety vest, for early am departures,
but got stuck in thorns,
Sort of a back out, and behind my back,
Stretching, etc (yoga?)
sort of issue...
Leaving the bike, should have locked,
with high traffic times more to help keep an eye on,
Taking photos and videos of passersby, witness verification,
who frequents the area, only one real annoying mom, a how to, but not doing it, degrading know it all tone, dumped the kid in the trailer off, maybe dog, people skills degraded,
a pet care place, doggy daycare, and other commute with those
you caregive, plus mom's, dad's, etc conditioned to tell others what to do,
not realizing they are not knowing everything, like baby talk,
all a stay at home gets to talk, day in and day out,
and all they are capable of, after a while..
So do we fall to this?
Cleaning up after others who should do it themselves?
Enabling their bad behavior?
But school bus stop nearby?
And other haranging,
Likely some parents accompanied them,
but starting early too,
an apartment cleanup person, a fair amount of the debris/trash,ay have been from wind and fell off the garbage truck,
Asi've seen grocery bags up in trees, blown up like balloons, and swirl up,
I could reach, others may have not, the pile picker type thing might have helped..
A buddy system, maybe too.
I used one hand with Ann action cam,
get a photo of what it was, and grab with the other hand,
shutter sound on, to hear when, maybe a few of the same thing,
sometimes getting labels
7-11 slurpy cup,
Beer brand, water bottle,
One case of beer, bottles, empties inside, others just laying there,
Drinking is illegal in the park, so is littering, likely gang like parties,
A police action and stakeout,
Moved from Trolls2015
when the heavy rains flood out, during dark, when the trail is
Closed, no stopping at least for commuters,
thinking on the case of alcolhol, young people were bought for, age restrictions and
a business of supplying underage drinkers, only a little hard liquor, samples, and one or so distilled, around,
the guly like dip concealed them/him/her, from view, but high risrs could probably see,.wondering about putting up web enabled cameras, like security, and night vision game cameras
Keep people from congregating, a trouble spot, near stores, colours of the bags, black, dollar store like,
Gloves I was not given liners, these the red latex/rubber coated cotton type,
Glass sharps,
Put my finger in the drinking hole of one 40oz, lifting up, if empty would have been light,
but rainwater, backflow, etc may have been,
Bugs, snakes, etc
Could have also been around,
Besides the microscopic bacteria, virus, etc
Risks,
A pencil, stick, etc would have been better,
Pole, poker and stay away from it...
Someone(s) were talking to me, I guess coaching me, but never🍐🍇go they were,
Guilting people, or mark Twain, whitewashing Huck Finn not beyond
Getting others to help,
Some may have cheated, grabbing what I collected up the hill, near the road and bus and dumpster,
But not having as much in the bag at the end to show for about 2 hours of it...
Went back around,
Some throwing down the hill, not carrying the bag, which would snag,
on branches, thorns, shrubs, underbrush,
A
Controlled burn, maybe allowed some places, burn the papers, small stuff, but fire risk, recent high risk times, humidity, high winds, spreading, etc.
Forrest fires and Smokey the Bear 🐻
Only you can prevent forrst fires,
Lightning the natural causes, cigarrettes,
butts most of what the first guy was getting,
near old recycling, not there, where to do batteries?
MOM's Markets does those,he says,
I fill him in on starting up and events,
fill in local knowledge, learn something, pass it on,
He's off to do another site, around the clock like Arlington loop circle,
but knowing there is more than we can get to, and what shit work did I volunteer for anyway?
While gang like jeering, cleaning up their hangout,
likely busted, or teen clean up your room or lose it,
Sent to dentention center, on notice, we are on to youse, etc..
Ticks and other problems possible,
Check yourself
I showered well and went to something else,
Kind of a decontamination suit,
still in yesterday's clothes and exercise on the way,
shower when there type of thing,
gym class first period,
Etc...
We swam in the lake one summer camp,
That will wake you up, especially in Maine,
But in my advanced years, likely heart attack,
early am, difficult,
Check frequency of heart attacks starting people's day...
For me I had been up since midnight,
doing online stuff, but forgot to rig up an ice pick,
nail on a pole (stab paper, news, flyers, etc),
have the old people's grabbers (bottles, cans),
Etc
To help from having to bend over so much,
Help reach, etc...
Luckily some of what I was doing was on a hill,
so if I could get to it,
usually in under something,
base of the shrub, thorns, etc,
I am taller and could reach,
Stepping on the base of things causing the plants to bend
theother way
Hopefully not harming the plant, I thought later,
Like hair, it might grow back...
Mowing, basically clear cutting has happened,
early season and grows back,
Under power lines, keeping trees from getting in the way of cables,
Shorting out, causing power outages, in storms, ice, wind, etc...

What Can Be Found?
What Can Not Be Found?
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Assumptions
Time Limits
Spring time before all the plants have leaves,
You can see more of the stuff...
Too hot in mid day sun (10-2p)
Prime sunburning times,
Heat stroke, etc...
Keep going until you cannot anymore
Run out of space in the bags,
Time to go else where,
Back breaking work,
You are mugged,
Raped,
Ridiculed,
Just hurt too much,
Feel dizzy,
sick from sprays used for fertilizer,
Pesticides,
have to use the bathroom,
Lame excuse number 54, etc...
Die,
Done community service,
time served,
The area is clean,
Or hit your mark,
Like the next high power pole,
What you said you would do,
Etc...

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
It's a ditry job, not as glamourous as how
Mike Rowe does his show...
After some idears on pickers, grabbers,
and other things like camera triggers
on the gripper control, identification of the item,
Clean enough for recycling,
they won't take if cannot see into it, mud, etc a reject?
No real way to rinse out, just dump liquid already in it,
luckily no urine,
like trucker roadside toilet, afaict.
Most plastics and metals will go to very high melting temp,
and get reformed, some lesser uses like park benches,
pallets, etc, instead of food container,
so less risks of contaiminants, afaict, research required...
I was wondering about building a robot to do it,
learning and improving on it.
I had thought on getting floating stuff in small lakes,
harbours, docks, etc...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
What keeps people from using trash and recycling
recepticles?
How much of it was from dumpsters and wind?
Single use bags and one drink bottle/can was a lot of it,
How many nights did someone drink it off,
and maybe forget, and not pack it out?
If the bus stop had a security cameras,
would that get the perps?
What are littering fines?
How about tressoassing in the park, after dark?
Underage drinking?
Selling to minors?
Effects of bottle and can deposits?
Incentivizing others to pick up for spare change?
Drawbacks of such a system?
Like prohibition, try and find out?
.
Is Virginia just too cheap to try it?
How much of a plantation state does it seem
to have people essentially working the fields like that?
And was it amusing for mostly white people to be doing it
cleaning up after many other darker shades of people,
basically living in their own filth?
Is Arlington North immune to it,
or do they just pay gardeners, etc to do it for them,
like Fortunate Sons and the Vietnam draft?
How much of South Arlington is downstream of
North Arlington?
What are the exceptions?
Why?
