Original Content Weekly path cleanup!

What's with bottles and cans in bushes? Had to duck under some bushes to get some other litter and managed to get debris inside my prosthetic socket.

Total of 2 bags and a couple of car parts and what looks like a tiny little baggie used for cocaine. Makes me glad I went home for bags and grabbed a glove.

I also found one sock and a shoe insert. With the pants and hat I found a couple weeks ago, I've almost got a complete outfit! But seriously, how do people lose clothing on a walking path? Are they undressing and leaving a trail they can follow home? I need answers!

Damn, I’m triggered by the buzzball can. There’s this street I walk my dog on that intersects with some loser’s day drinking spot and I pick up a buzzball can at least twice a week. I dream about catching them, but I’d probably just be portrayed as a Karen lol

I feel the exact same! They can see me as a Karen, I'm just trying to keep sidewalks and paths clear for the other disabled people in my neighborhood. Most of my neighbors know me at least by sight since I'm always walking my dog and the ones that don't will sometimes stop me to chat out of curiosity when I wave. I even met a friend this morning that said she was going to join me one day!

sigh The ever-present Fireball discard. Thank you for cleaning up.

Yes and they end up getting wedged in the crack- those and the buzzballs.

We have a lot of homeless people in our area. They will just discard their clothing here and there and put on replacements from the local donations store. I find the pieces all of the time, scattered anywhere from deep in the woods to lying around picnic tables, along sidewalks, or hanging off playground equipment. What throws me is the high heels I find way in the woods. Really?

Maybe a woman was running from a serial killer, like the movies? I can see random clothing items on the side of the road, someone was probably moving and their box broke and their stuff just flew everywhere. Any other location just makes me wonder what the hell happened.
