Bags of garbage

The photos of bags of garbage on this blog do not magically appear. I fill the garbage bag up in 15 min. to an hour and take the bag to be picked up by the city. Most garbage comes from little bits everywhere that add up to one large bag when collected into a group. Photos height and width (March 26, 2024) now match original.

Collected garbage at the farm , at Cap st Jacques, on the shoreline/beach. The photo is of the same bag, but in different locations. Only one large size garbage bag. Not too heavy.
_______

a small bag found-made on the walk up to the farm along with some kind of torn and discarded black foam padding cushion that I found on the side of the road.

Picked up some trash . Guy told me story how the cut tree stumps got there. I don't believe him, but I pretended to, to have a conversation with him. He couldn't accept my disbelief. I dunno.
Shoreline is still torn up from the vehicule. I still have to bring up a collection of bricks I've made.

At the three benchs ,picked up two coffee cups full of cigarette butts and some garbage, plus collected the small bag of garbage in the photo from the shoreline.
Contemplated that smokers may be slightly psychopathic. They drop the butts where ever they like, as if it is not garbage, + plus second hand smoke was of no consequence to them before the second hand smoke laws came into effect.

A large rat? I think. I put it in a grey plastic bag.

Two bags of garbage and a dead animal in the grey plastic bag. The garbage comes from the riverfront near where I live. I picked up some trash on one side the other day. I described finding tree stumps and vehicle tracks Oct 17, 2011.

Took out some bricks and asphalt out of cheval blanc.
One medium-small bag of garbage (beer bottles) from river shoreline.
Then I found a huge piece of foam , the shape looked like half a small boat. maybe 3 feet by 3 feet looked dirty.
I carried it to the garbage bin on the street. Might get a photo tomorrow.(got photo)
I looked a little like Atlas.


but thought of myself as Sisyphus , having to clean up garbage every day, and the next day to do the same thing. I like the finished product as God-Mother nature intended, so my work is not meaningless.

Roadside garbage. Collected during the walk up from the entrance to the first picnic area on the river-in-the-woods.

Underwear found near the shoreline on top of a bag of garbage I collected.

A few hours work at Cap St Jacq. Found the rusted metal pile at "DrunkRussian" fishing spot and took it to the trash. The trail ended as there was too much water to walk along the shore without getting wet feet-shoes.

In the photo there is a plastic pumpkin with fireworks in it. Is this garbage from this year or last year? hard to tell.
I did half the shore front at the park. Looks like a truck of some kind went up and down the shoreline. I cant tell what it was. One large stone I remember is gone. Someone purposely dumped chopped up tree trunks up and down the shoreline.
Regular garbage of broken bottles etc.
The person dumping food for the animals has gone overboard. There is about 5 piles of rotting food along the shoreline as well.

More than 16 bricks and some metal removed from the river shoreline at Cheval Blanc near the highrise condos.

Just very small bags , coffee cups left behind. Why? How? I wonder .

Cap st Jacq Near the Farm, woods just inland from the shoreline , trash washed in from the spring flooding I presume. Took just a few minutes to collect, the work was taking it out to the official garbage spot to be picked up.

Cap St Jacq picked up garbage, more than this one bag . Lots of apples on the ground. That shocked me at first. "What are all these apples doing on the ground , going to waste?" was my first thought. I guess they will turn into earth. I did not pick any apples up.
I found a strange metal wire cage for fishing near the collapsed wall (entropy pic) lots of garbage everywhere. A fireplace every 6 feet. Three picnic tables on the beach. With beer and fireplaces. Really nature. NOT. No police for the area I guess. Passed a couple who was very happy, presumably because their dog was having fun in the water, said beu jour-hello to me. Gunshots or firecrackers going off , across the lake/river. Power motorboats still running , so it was still summer. Too noisy for me. No drunkRussians fishing , I guess they are out of season.

Two bags of garbage found from lots of tiny bits at Cap-Saint-Jacques Nature Park .
I would estimate each bag was at least five pounds worth of weight of broken and intact glass.
This was in the same area I cleaned in 2010.
I will get a portable scale for future photographic evidence.
