GLASS BOTTLES ON HUDSON RUN IN BARBERTON!

Wow, there's a lot of glass bottles on Hudson Run in Barberton!  This is one spot!  Who knows how many years they've been here.  I pulled each one out of the weeds and dirt and threw them in a pile before I put them in my trash bag.

What I found to be very sad is because there's no place to walk, ALL THIS TRASH IS THROWN FROM CARS.  Isn't that sad?  

Most of the trash I find in Akron is from homeless people walking around.  And there may be some homeless people in Barberton too, but they aren't walking around here.  There are no sidewalks, and only about 3 feet of space.  

In the four hours I've been picking up trash on Hudson Run, I haven't seen anyone walking around.

Here's what this side of the road looked like.  It looks like that most of the way.  There are some clean spots, but not many.  It will all be clean when I'm finished.

Yesterday, I guessed it would take me three days.  Not happening. I don't know how long it's going to take, but I'll chip away at it until I'm finished.  And it will be beautiful!!!

Not only did I pick up hundreds of glass bottles, but other kinds of glass too.  I'll make sure the Mayor of Barberton knows there is glass in the bags so the guys are careful.

I found teeny tiny bur-docks!  What the heck!  They were all over me.  I never saw tiny ones before.  

I read that if you use a comb, they will come off easily.  I didn't wait to try that.  The last thing I need is to get these on Henry & Stella!

I picked up 1,146 pieces of trash tonight, filling four big construction bags.  

I'm so glad I brought construction bags, because the clear bags I usually have wouldn't have held the weight and sharpness of so much glass.

I tried to keep them together in one place, but I couldn't carry these bags.  They were too heavy.  So two are together and one is a little ways up the road, but on the same side of the street.   

Look how nice it looks clean!

I filled up four construction bags, and the last one, I dumped into this dumpster after cleaning all around it.  Usually if someone sees me cleaning their property, they don't mind if I use their dumpster.  I'm sure that will be the case here, because it looks so much better now.

I'm not near as tired tonight as I was last night.  I don't know why.  Picking up all those bottles was harder than picking bags out of the briars, but maybe I'm feeling good knowing I'm making progress.
