Generally I wouldn't do a recycling day until I had accumulated about twenty bags of recyclables. Wanted to dispose of all of this before I left for NCJCS. Just over 11 bags full and I was trying to get this task accomplished as quickly as possible. Had some things to get done in the afternoon in preparation for camp.
One bag after the next I got all these recyclables sorted out. Being pressed for time I did not photograph the process this time, just the start and the end.
In total there were 1,755 recyclable items taken off our waterways and trails since the last recycling day on May 11th. The break down was 949 plastic bottles, 646 aluminum cans, 136 glass bottles, 19 plastic tea/milk jugs, 3 plastic oil containers and two steel cans. For the year this brings the grand total to 9,708 recyclable items this project has removed!
I am fairly certain the next post won't be up until NCJCS ends on the 16th, posts may not be up until the 17th or 18th. It does take some time to sort photos and upload everything.
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 here: Help Fund Taking Out the Trash
