Continuing the cleaning of the woods east of the official Whitehorse/Cheval Blanc park

Two bags of garbage collected from the woods.

April 28, 2014

I was not going to work this day, but I found glass bottles and had to pick them up before they were broken.

West of the Whitehorse/Chevalblanc park I picked up the glass bottles I found after some teenagers or whoever had a party. There is still other garbage left behind, and metal rebar in the woods the city has not removed.

Found one glass bottle in the grass that I had missed.

Some kind of green fishing line and glass bottles I found.

Returned to Whitehorse/Cheval Blanc rapids park on the eastern edge property line.

Garbage bush-tree stump dumped in the woods, I pulled it out. The same kind as April 24. I think I threw three in the bin and then gave up.

End of the mornings work, one bag of garbage collected from the woods. The (paper and plastic) garbages origin most likely came from the bins seen in April 24, 2014 post.

At Cheval Blanc/Whitehorse rapids park, east of the official park I did some cleaning. A Chief came over to ask me if I worked for the city. Then told me/asked me to throw a tree stump (I had pulled out/someone had dumped) into the garbage bin. I obliged him and did so. He said the wind blew it there, referring to the garbage I was collecting. I said the wind did not dump the tree stump, and asked him to talk of building a fence to catch the paper and plastic before it hits the woods.

Edge of property between private land and the Cheval Blanc park. Looking North.

Looking North , garbage bins

Looking South. Garbage bins. Garbage spills out of these garbage containers and ends up in the woods.

The general area I was cleaning.

The location of the garbage bins.

Garbage bag full of paper and plastic items from the property line, and a brick. All went in the dumpster. I also threw out two small tree stumps. Reason being that the wood does not biodegrade. The wood needs to be put through a shreader-woodchipper, and/or buried in a dirt hole with moisture to biodegrade.

Snow Dump

Where is the property line? Who knows? Lets dump the snow here. Who is going to complain?

Whitehorse rapids/Rapides de Cheval Blanc I collected one bag of garbage from the official park, then found and brought two bottles to the trash before they could be smashed/broken by children.

Tim Horton's bag of garbage I found and brought to the garbage bin.

Bottles in the bin before children can break them.

Park Paquin I cleaned up a bit  and made one bag of garbage. The garbage container was overflowing. Party-ers had left pizza boxs and garbage.

Nature photo. Ice almost gone.

The garbage I collected and brought to the container.

Garbage container overflowing/pizza boxes.

Then a guy came looking for cans and bottles in the locked garbage container. I don't know if he left a worse mess or not in his search. This day I do not recall finding any recyclables.

"Should I put my arm in here?"

"Yes, I need the cans and bottles"

Captain Morgan and Southern Comfort. The bag of garbage I collected this day.

April 17, 2014

At Whitehorse rapids/Cheval Blanc rapids east of the official park I did a bit of cleaning. I found a snake shortly after I started. A surprise.
 

Garbage I cleaned up. I found too many bottles.The black object (5th up in bottle lineup) is some kind of home made fireworks.

The deposit price should go up on the containers (I always say this).

Then some geese showed up to eat some grass.

Are you looking at me?
