You'll never guess what I found.

Good evening.
I was going to cut down on the litter picking and have a few days off. But . . . I couldn't resist going out today. I went a bit earlier hoping it would be a bit cooler. Only an hour, and one bag, I said to myself. Back to Bagmoor Lane. 
Parked my car next to this black bag. Oh no, I recognise that smell. Didn't need to look in it, another dead animal. I started my picking a bit further along the lane. 
This is the back wall of the park, with woodland on the other side. I looked over it and found fly tipping.
 
A shopping trolley with no handle and no wheels. Don't know how this got here, there are no shops nearby. 
A lot of black bin bags, and that smell again. Another report for the Council I think. I am not touching this. 

I soon filled the red bag up. Then I found an empty black bag and filled that as well.
18 glass bottles, bagged up in a sturdy bag, and labelled, Litter picked by a volunteer. 
Then guess what I found. A full couples toy kit wrapped in a bag, still in the box. 😄😂😎
In the red bag it went, after I checked it for batteries. Only found one very small one which I removed. 
All stacked up nicely in a prominent position on a busy road. Awaiting collection. 
I posted my report on the Council web site and got a reference number. Hopefully they will come and check out those black bags which I am sure contain animal remains. 
My one hour litter pick lasted two hours. 
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

  1. I litter pick around my village, I don't drive so I can't go very far. I'm pleased to say I've never found anything too disgusting so far. You have all my admiration for picking where you do.
