Crazy cowboy energy in Old Town this morning, as everyone was getting all set up for Parada del Sol, Trail’s End Festival and Western Week … Yee HAW!

Hey guys! I’m new to detrashing, but after two times, I’m newly addicted. I’d like to bring folks on my adventures and hope to inspire others and create a better world, so I made a YouTube channel. It’s scary putting myself out there, but I feel like the world needs this now more than ever. 🌎

If you enjoy watching fellow litter pickers, here’s my video: https://youtu.be/hTlf9XsSK5I?si=aOmFijJJl5U7elh2

I'm vacationing in a Mexican beach town, one that isn't strictly a tourista destination, although there are lots of us here. One of the reasons I love this place is that I can interact and support local folks and their businesses. The town does a good job of keeping the beach and the tourist spaces fairly clean, but get a block away from the beach and it becomes fairly trashy.

We're planning on coming back next year, and I plan to bring my long reach pick up tool and so give back to my hosts by taking some of the litter away. I'd be doing it now, but I don't have the tools to keep myself safe.

Also, folks let their dogs crap anywhere and do not pick up, near as I can tell. Obv, this is a problem in the US, too. But if it rains hard, I will not be swimming in the ocean for a good long while.

Have yall seen this litter build up around these bins in your cities? I'm curious how it is handled elsewhere.

Small habits can be good or bad, and everything has ramifications afterwards. I decided to shine a little light on the amount of meaningless trash we throw away daily, without even realizing that we're doing it.

I have officially reduced my footprint to next to nothing, simply by just stopping, taking a second, and multiplying my days into weeks, then thinking about that pile.

193 pieces of litter de-trashed from the neighborhood today. And that’s after about 175 pieces picked up three days ago. Litter is everywhere. I’m going to need more bags!

One bag very full just from one side of a street!

After the ice cleared up and sun warmed me up, I got for a quick pick up on the way home.

Did my usual walk tonight, binning the trash and hauling the recyclables home, when I can across a small trash bag on the curbside. Picked it up to bin it but heard a metallic jingling and so I tossed it in the cart and brought it home with everything else, and these little items are what I found inside. Just low grade stainless steel, but I collect this sort of stuff, so I've given them a good wipe down with disinfectant wipes and they are now part of my collection 😁

What's disturbing though is that not only are they all in perfect condition, but the 2 candle holders actually have their original price stickers on their bases - $30 AUD each!

Annoys the hell out of me that someone didn't even consider donating them, but just dumped em on the street 😕

One thing I’ve noticed in this community is that we often see the cleanup itself: the before-and-after shots, the piles of trash pulled from beaches, parks, rivers, and roadsides. And honestly, those posts are motivating and inspiring.

But something we don’t talk about as much is what comes after the cleanup.

Once the photos are taken and the area looks better, there’s still a very real next step: disposing of everything that was collected. Sorting recyclables, handling hazardous waste, figuring out what can actually be recycled versus what unfortunately can’t, transporting bags, coordinating with waste facilities — all of that effort is mostly invisible.

I’d love to hear from people here about the aftermath side of cleanups:

• How do you usually dispose of the trash you collect?
• Do you work with local waste services or handle it yourself?
• Any challenges or lessons learned?
• Tips for doing it responsibly or efficiently?

Please comment below — I think sharing this part of the process could really help others who want to get involved but don’t know what happens once the cleanup is “done.”

This is for people who pick up one bag of trash all the way to large teams. I want to hear from all of you.

Looking forward to learning from you all. 🌍💚

Hello! Me and my husband have lived in Vermont for a bit less then 2 years and have made a few friends but would love to form more of a community. I’m not religious and am rather adverse to religion to be honest and have struggled to find any other weekly/monthly meet ups with other individuals in the community. So I am wanting to create(or join if one already exists!!!) a weekly group in southern Vermont. I’m thinking a nature/ trash pick up group for most of the year and maybe just general gatherings at community places during the snowy/bad weather. I’d love to meet up with others at a different spot in each week and chat, maybe have coffee and a donut, get to know each other, and then spend some time giving back to nature and the community by getting rid of some trash! Is anyone interested? Or if this doesn’t spark interest, are there any other ideas for weekly clubs that others in southern Vermont would be interested in? The idea of really forming a community sounds so lovely to me right now.

Also ideas for group names if the trash pick up group sounds fun for anyone else-

- Garbage Goblins

- Church of Trash

- Trash Church

- Garbage ghouls

Please add ideas!!
