  1. This morning’s #run was rubbish 🗑️ 🏃🏻‍♂️

    Dear crisp munching, cider swigging, Mini Melton Mowbray Pork Pie packing, Red Bull guzzling ignoramus, stop throwing litter out of your vehicle window — you’re making a hell of a mess of the countryside. 😡

    If you can’t find a bin, take it home with you. Alternatively, store it in that cavity where most people keep their brain.

  2. Today’s #running pace was all over the place — just like the #litter thrown from vehicles along beautiful country lanes. 🗑️🥫🥤🧃🧋🏃🏻‍♂️

    The main suspect has a liking for Dry Cider and Scotch Eggs. 🔍

    I don’t understand people that drop litter. 🤯

  3. Today’s #run turned into a #litterpick.

    A lazy KFC customer decided to fling their litter out of their car window on a country lane despite passing a litter bin!?

    Come on Fast Food outlets, start printing the names or car registration numbers of customers on packaging to discourage people from littering!

  4. Day #11 of cleaning up litter along my #Commute route.

    Another 18 days has passed since my last cleanup.

    I expanded my territory again (as well as cleaning up my existing stretch of road), and managed to get another tire, a television, some siding, and three more bags of miscellaneous trash.

    So far:
    🛞 31 Tires
    🚮 40 Bags of trash

  5. CW: CW: Cannabis use, with food (tofu) present in background

    When I hike, I always pick up trash as I go. The place I was at is fairly good with litter, but there were still a few things to pick up... including half a joint.

    I was a good citizen and picked it up. The wrapper I didn't trust, but the contents were still good and very effective after dinner and before bed.

  6. Back out on a #Hike today. Barely any #Litter in the whole park so far. I'm sure I'll find some somewhere.

  7. Day #10 of cleaning up litter along my #Commute route.

    Even with my expanded territory (a 1.2 km stretch of rural road), I only managed to find one bag's worth of trash along the whole thing. My last maintenance cleanup was 18 days ago.

    So far:
    🛞 30 Tires
    🚮 37 Bags of trash

  8. No more tires in the ditch, and things have grown in a lot.

    This is one of the spots I cleaned up, and I enjoyed a rest stop here on the way home from work today— perched on that thick end piece that's supposed to crumple /just so/ when crashed into.

    Please, please: If you see trash, pick it up and get rid of it... even if it's not yours. The more of us do it, the easier it is to maintain.

  9. Day #9 of cleaning up litter along my #Commute route.

    I expanded my reach a bit and cleaned up a little farther along my route. I got all of the junk in the picture, plus 2.5 bags to add to yesterday's measly half a bag.

    So far:
    🛞 30 Tires
    🚮 36 Bags of trash

  10. Day #8 of cleaning up litter along my commute route.

    It's been a few weeks since I was last out, and only a half a bag needed to be cleaned up along the whole damn thing.

    I was expecting much worse than that.

    Here's the legacy list of all of my #DontBeATosser litter picking and cleanup posts from my previous instance: fosstodon.org/@wolfeh/tagged/D

    Day #7 of cleaning up litter along my route.

    I made myself a hard-to-miss spot on my ride home from work.

    I cleaned everything up, and now I have a place to stop mid-commute and relax with some in the shade.

    I was on my bike, so the bag that I filled up is still out there. I'll get it tomorrow when I drive past on my way out of town.

    So far:
    🛞 29 Tires
    🚮 33 Bags of trash

  12. Day #6 of picking up trash along my commute route.

    4 more tires (some with wheels) makes 29 total since I started cleaning up. I only had time to stop for a few minutes today, but any progress is good.

  13. Bonus content from Day #5 of picking up trash along my commute route:

    Another sign that some of the litter I'm cleaning up is decades old is the existence of these old "pull tab" cans manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s.

  14. Day #5 of picking up trash along my commute route.

    ➡️ 13 more bags of trash
    ➡️ 14 more tires (only 13 pictured, I found one more later)
    ➡️ 3 rugs that the council said would be dug out with a backhoe weeks ago
    ➡️ 1 door with chipping, leaded paint cleaned up (along with the contaminated dirt and grass around it)
    ➡️ 5 people stopped to say thank you.

    The council will supposedly be out to pick things up tomorrow.

  15. Day #4 of picking up litter along my commute route.

    I found a page from a hymnal, a energy drink can that looks like it's been taken over by a medusa, and plenty more.

    Five bags of trash cleaned up (three pictured), plus a bunch of miscellaneous other stuff.

  16. Day #3 of picking up litter along my commute.

    Someone from the local council showed up to investigate the piles of tires that I made on the side of the road (plus the toilet), but someone else had already cleaned everything up.

    I had a chat with the man, and now I have official dumpster access at the township building.

    He's also going to bring around a backhoe on Monday to get this big wet rug out of the ditch.

    Wooooo!

  17. Day #2 of picking up litter along my commute (continued). Five more bags of trash, and many many tires.

    Yes, that is a toilet. I left it there just in case I get caught short between work and home. 😁

  18. Day #2 of picking up litter along my commute route. I've found quite a lot of these old beer cans with the "pull tab" on them, and I'm starting to wonder how many decades this litter has been accumulating.

    This document from Southern Oregon University suggests that the cans in this style were from somewhere between 1965 and 1975: hanlib.sou.edu/jimrock/additio

  19. CW: CW: Salty rant about littering

    Every time I ride/drive to work, I have to pass so much fucking litter.

    I want to rant about idiocy. I want to rant about laziness.

    As the litter is mostly related to soda, alcohol, tobacco, and lottery tickets, though, I have to accept that society's general desparation is a factor in this.

    I cleaned up the woods. I cleaned up the road. I am very frustrated with people.
