Almost fifteen full bags over the past couple weeks. Without the river days the amount of trash I am able to collect has dropped, but that was to be expected. In total for today's sort there were 1,443 items, 738 plastic bottles, 637 aluminum cans, 43 plastic jugs, 21 glass bottles and 4 plastic oil containers. By the end of the sort there was also two full garbage bags of non-recyclables. On the hikes I have been trying to pick up almost everything.
The pile fully sorted. Small in comparison to the sort piles over the summer. I think this time I had more cans than any of those though.
You too can help with taking out the trash! If you get out hiking take a grocery bag with you, give it a second use and fill it with trash while you are out! Every bit helps. You can also help contributing to this project at:gofundme.com/takingoutthetrash
