World Cleanup Day - Raritan River, NJ - Part II
About a month after the clean-up effort, shown here, I went back and took some shots of the same trail. I’m happy to say it looks MUCH better and after my friend, Dolly, called the township to pick up the trash and recycling, they came through and cleaned all the scrap metal that was too heavy to lift as well! Additionally they chopped up the fallen trees, including the one that became a garbage dam in the river, and threw them in the woods to return to nature and decompose. Was there still some litter? Of course, I’m not kidding myself into thinking this won’t be a lifelong effort, but maybe we can ask the township to put some garbage/recycling bins at entry points on the trail and a “No Littering, Fuckwad” sign.
The following pictures are how I want to remember and preserve New Jersey.
Not going to ask. Wasn’t looking for a trip to Narnia at the time.
No more scrap metal!
Based on the tracks, it looks like they used some serious equipment to drag that stuff out.
Happy World Cleanup Day, everyone!
