I cleaned at Roxboro beach. Though there is no beach anymore because of the massive rain we had on August 9th, 158 mm rain total .  This was my first visit since the rain and did not know what to expect.

As the normal area was underwater I went to the east side where fisherfools go to fish, and sure enough, found their garbage to clean up.

Were animals trying to eat this plastic container?

We received 158mm of rain on August 9th, increasing the river flow and volume. I don't have a photo on hand to show the normal river level. I will be back.

I cleaned at park Paquin and the no name park. Just a small amount of garbage.

I  cleaned at Cap St. Jacques. This was right after the massive rain of August 9th , 2024.

I spent some time on what was left of the shoreline, and found some garbage to clean.

Answer to Spot the garbage

If you find a (red)cup, you can use it as a container for broken glass.

Hide it in the bushes. Bottle.
