AWWW YEAH!! Thank you for doing this! I collect litter on my dog walks; it's amazing how much one collects - and also how much longer it takes for waste to reaccumulate if you nip it in the bud, so to speak. People are nasty.
You are excellent people! Good job on not giving that ham to dog. Mostly they are cured with curing salt (worse than regular salt for your pet's kidneys). While many stray dogs eat whatever in whatever state, many get poisoned, contract worms or other parasites from rotten food.
I clean up the storm ravine behind my house. At the school on the other side of the ravine, they just leaf blow all the yard trash into the ravine, so it is never ending. Most common plastic product is Capri Sun straw wrappers.
Thank you for restoring beauty to your neighborhood! I pick up trash regularly myself, often in parking lots when out shopping. I wish more people did this.
That's a nice grabber. I got mine from the dollar store and reinforced it and put interchangeable tubes on for different grips. I fuckin love picking up trash.
You'd go absolutely insane at my house. Due to some weird physics of the location, there's a near-constant wind blowing straight at my house from across a school parking lot. So. much. trash.

People who litter should lose their citizenship and sent to a third world country

I started doing this when I moved a few years ago. Cleaned the whole road only for stupid ppl to throw more damn cans... and it's mostly booze
DocClawhammer
Yeah there’s a lot of twisted tea, Miller lite and fireball nips here.

I could use those grabbers for my walks. Can you please post a link to them?
DocClawhammer
I got it at Lowe’s but Amazon and Home Depot have them as well. These were like 25 bucks
SirChadwellHeath
But do you walk 25 miles a day like David Sedaris? https://time.com/3062558/garbage-truck-named-after-author-david-sedaris/
DocClawhammer
Eh more like 2 or 3
Klaxun
Are those giant tongs? Follow up question: Do you make them go clack?
DocClawhammer
Yes. And of course.
Klaxun
Follow-up question to my follow-up question: Did you make the tongs, or are they available to purchase somewhere?
DocClawhammer
I bought them at Lowe’s but they have them at Home Depot and Amazon too
mondomar

Ploty
Is good to be aware there's at least one like me somewhere in the world.
DocClawhammer
Thanks! There’s another guy who does it near me too, but In a kilt!
Ploty
That makes three! Kilts are fine, I hope he's using his hammer to make this world a cleaner one

Do you mind walking once a week through my parents' neighbourhood?
DocClawhammer
I could probably pencil it in
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Awesome work, @OP! This next song goes out to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YptMAxonE8
DocClawhammer

CreativeThief
That's awesome! Where did you get those amazing tongs?

aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Google trash tongs
designmajor
I have a pair just like those from Amazon
LeCoq1963
Keep after it. It's always nice to see someone, besides myself, picking up litter. I use one of those grabber thingys also because germs.
DocClawhammer
Yeah the tongs are awesome!

DocClawhammer
It’s a lot of fun now that I’m into it
clumsyyakman
Can I pet your ham?
DocClawhammer
Yes.
notificationstation
You found the rum ham!
DocClawhammer
I stole it from the guidos
Nightcaste
What kind of bags do you use that fit a 5 gallon bucket? I use one for cleaning up after my dog and the kitchen trash bags seem wasteful
DocClawhammer
I bought some compostable five gallon bags online
Nightcaste
I'll look for that. Thanks
Nightcaste
That makes me think I could just empty it into the yard waste bag when I mow the lawn, too.
FatBastardVegetarian
Hiking crocs?
DocClawhammer
Yup!
Mandarinduckmama
Good man!! I, too, am the self-designated trash collector on my street. It looks so nice when I'm done--for a day.
ImSynnical
You see the problem is you’re not picking up the real trash, the fuck wits who litter
Mandarinduckmama
That would make my bag too heavy.
ImSynnical
Wood chipper fix that problem I think humans are compostable
Mandarinduckmama
Messy, tho.
LookaSquirrelbus
Captain planet approves this! Motivating the next fella, thanks
PrincessWasabi
Petition your city to put a sign up thst says littering punishable by fine
graehall
I love where I live in Sydney, our local council picks up all the litter, maintains the parks, mows the grass next to the footpaths

Bag it and return it to the principal's office ?

I live in the corner of the street. No matter which way the wind goes, I get it all!
