A big thanks to Josh, Kathy and George for teaming up with me for our first of four Pinehurst Community Council street cleanups. It was a nice sunny morning. We donned fashionable green vests, pulled on gloves, grabbed our nifty grabbers and went to work, our big yellow plastic bags billowing behind us.
It took two hours for two teams of two to split up and cover the territory. We were surprised at how clean the streets looked, but we still collected 1 1/2 big bags of trash, including a dead crow, a dead rat, broken glass, plastic bottles, stray papers, lots of cigarette trash, and a nickel.
A high point was the appreciation we got from a couple passersby. A low point was a car running over and cremating our dustpan when it fell out of Josh’s pocket. 🙂
I’ll schedule a winter cleanup in a couple months; stay tuned!
Thanks again for organizing this Nancy! It was a rewarding way to spend a beautiful fall Saturday morning!
Yes, thanks for organizing! I’m sorry I couldn’t make it but I was doing my own cleanup of my grandfather’s apartment that day. Maybe next time.
