I noticed a collection of cigarette butts had once again accumulated on the drain at the top of the stairs leading to Allen Street, so I got the picker and dustbin and headed out for a quick clean-up.
While out, I noticed the landscaping company had cut down the wild grass growing along the property on Brunette Avenue. We’d done a pretty thorough clean-up of this area during the May 10 community cleanup, but I figured the cut grass would reveal more “treasures”, so I headed over to have a look.
I was right! Among the cigarette butts, I found:
- Paper and plastic cups (someone really liked Super Slurpees)
- An old sign
- Glass and plastic bottles
- Wrappers of all sorts
- Cardboard
- Creamers. Apparently someone stood in the shade of one of the trees and drank coffee with a lot of cream in it.
- Styrofoam food containers
- An empty asparagus (!) box
- And, as they say, so much more
There was so much stuff I filled the dust bin twice, then upgraded to a crate and filled it up, too. There are probably more bits of stuff stuck in the piles of cut grass now, but definitely less than before.
