I FOUND ANOTHER KNIFE!

 

Tonight, I went to Archwood & Arlington.  I had a feeling it was a mess, and I was right.

Guess how many pieces of trash were in this field?

I picked up 1,166 pieces of trash in this field.

Now it looks so much better.  

I found lots of worn out car parts. I guess people come to Auto Zone and the brake pads, windshield wipers and oil bottles end up in this field.  

Sure seems like Auto Zone employees would take a walk once a week and pick all that stuff up, don't you think?  They try to clean up their parking lot, but don't look at the field right beside it.

I found a knife close to the sidewalk.  

I haven't found a knife for a while.  Imagine if a kid found that.  Well, it's in my knife box now where it's safe.

I continued east down Archwood, and I cleaned along the sidewalk in front of a bunch of houses.  The one on the corner had a lot of the Dollar Store trash in the bushes, and his music was cranked up full blast.  I picked that all up, and the music stopped and the door opened.  A man came out and gave me $5.  He said, "I don't know who you are, but thank you." 

Then he turned around, went back into his house and cranked up the music again.  

I thought that was very strange.  But also very nice.

I found some change.  That's always fun.

Overall, it was great night.  No broken glass.  Only one needle.  Nice dumpsters to empty my trash in.

I picked up 2,517 pieces of trash tonight, and I would have picked up more, but my trash grabber bit the dust.  I had an extra one in my car, but I was tired.

Tomorrow morning at 8:00 is the Main Street Barberton Cleanup.  I sure hope lots of people show up.  That would make me very happy.
