Trash pick up offered a glimpse of how we live 2017-04-30 - Corner of Burkesville and Fortune Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Volunteering with the Pride Clean Up Saturday, April 29, 2017 provided enlightenment on how we live, what we buy, and what we do with what we buy. It showed where people congregate, eat, smoke and drink by their leftover filter cigarette butts, food and drink packaging left behind. I worked in my neighborhood covering East Fortune Street, across Reed Street to Madison Ally, and along Burkesville Street, parking lots behind the Chamber office and Walker Realty, then back on East Fortune Street. In my bag were: metal cans, plastic bottles and lids, paper cups, paper wrappers, a hand towel, gauze, rusty wire, dead electronic devices, plastic juice packs, miscellaneous pieces of broken plastic of all sizes, beer and kids meals cardboard packages, a used feminine hygiene pad, a plastic glove, more wire, plastic coated this time, both cloth and plastic strings, hot sauce condiment packets, fast food pie box, broken glass and lots of paper napkins/towels. With things looking better, I finished up, reported in and arranged to leave my bag in front of the Chamber of Commerce at 201 Burkesville Street for pick up. It felt good to have been among the hundred or so volunteers working to make this a cleaner place. I hope all of them had a safe experience and look forward to hearing about things discovered by others around the city and county. It's good to know the Solid Waste Advisory Committee is active to keep the clean up going. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
