Today's more moderate temperatures allowed for the year's first terrestrial trash patrol. Mrs. Trashpaddler and I didn't expect to find much trash due to the snow cover. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case and trash was found atop the snow. Our trek took us along a plowed sidewalk for about a mile and a half to the Assabet River near Knox Trail. At the edge of the road and next to the river was a nicely tied plastic bag filled with all kinds of condiments. Actually there were 53 individual packets of ketchup, mayonnaise, soy sauce. cocktail sauce, etc. Kinda weird. By that I mean, I've been known to carry an extra packet of salt or sugar inside my vehicle; but not a whole restaurant booth's worth. Perhaps it was someone who'd stowed away a few extra in case the Mayan cataclysm materialized....
...and what better way to go out than with a box of Mike & Ike's!
There were 16 recyclable containers (5 redeemable) and 74 pieces of miscellaneous rubbish including the aforementioned condiments. YTD = 91
