So, I've moved. And I won't be picking up trash where I used to live in Fort Collins any more. It's kinda sad actually. I enjoyed the whole process and making these images and lists to share. What I would like to do is have people around send submissions of the trash you pick up. I will post them here, on this website. Just send a email to me from the contact page and I'll reply and you can send your images. I think it would be a cool way to keep this going. 265 documented pieces of trash picked up!

This was surprisingly a lighter weekend haul.
The McDonald's bag was found thrown onto a bush alongside the street. Napkins and sauce packets were strewn everywhere. One of the burger boxes (with a unfinished burger still inside) was under the bush. Just throw your trash away!
Colorado has banned plastic bags at grocery stores. So either buy the paper bags or bring your own reusable ones. It's great in my opinion. Read about the Colorado Plastic Bag Ban here.
The amount of shot bottles and beer cans I find on my Monday morning dog walk last week in college town is absolutely outrageous... I get having a good time, but can't you at least keep the trash in your car? We already know your car is gross and filled with trash already.
