@edinburghpicker

Occasional volunteer litter picker (EH12, Edinburgh, Scotland)
Since littering is a criminal offence, does me removing the evidence make me complicit..?!

Second #litter bag for the day. I did think it was rather heavy. 7 plastic & 13 glass bottles & 38 cans. See all those prisoners who are let go early in England, I take it they all have to report daily & do work in the community instead? Nah, didn't think so either. #Prisoners

What's the matter at The City of Edinburgh Council - does someone need to go on a course in prioritising work, do staff members need to multitask more, or both? Which job do you think should take priority? 🗳️ 1. Mow short grass shorter 2. & 3. Clear roads 4. Clear drains* (* I dug this out)

Got a tipoff about a spade/shovel so I was out the door like a shot!🏃 Found a carrier bag nearby & filled it up walking across #CorstorphineHill Found a dog ball thrower, full can of DragonSoop in bag, bottles & cans, and crisp packets near the 🏫 which can't be mentioned 🤫

🚨 Warning: boring post! 🚨 Nothing to see here apart from an unexpected drain being uncovered and a wrapper from 2011 below all the dirt😴 #crazymanatwork 🤪

I don't know what to think of this... 🤔 The drain which I dug out from below a layer of 13 year old dirt (see my previous post) isn't even on the council's online map for reporting blocked drains... 😶

Just going for a walk... 🚶🏻 Ended up like TommyPicsUpTrash must feel when maneuvering through Clearwater's mangroves 😄 Litter from ~8 years ago to date - but what about that Tennent's Lager can..! 😯 Bit older that! Broken glass too - not good for wildlife & 4 legged friends! 🐕🐩

No shame here. All the odd beer glasses I own I have picked off the street. Left by drunken idiots I presume, rescued by me before another idiot smashes them in the road. Finders, keepers!

Would have loved 💚 to pick up & recycle these ♻️ because they're lethal lying on the side of a foot/cycle path... 😬 Next time I'll take gloves 🧤

Hey O2, I think it was you & Virgin laying cables on Corstorphine Hill, Edinburgh a while ago. Works seem to have been completed, but there's still a barrier laying around, covering a hole. This is a nature reserve. When will it be removed? Thank you.

No gloves 🧤, no bag... But a few cans I can handle! Especially with a recycling bin 🚮 in the same street! ♻️ Just don't lick your fingers on the way home... 😝 ... and wash your hands! 💧 #litter #picking #is #easy

Back to pick up some broken glass, before anyone got hurt 🤕 Meant to walk much further to get some steps in but my bag was getting way too heavy 🏋️‍♂️ & besides that - it was full to the brim! Reported for Council collection 🚛 Thanks to the gent who called my work commendable 👍🏻

Part-time vacancy for a handy person with @CareRepairEdin! 👷‍♀️🔨 ➡️ Everyone should check out what this charity does, as we all get older & we likely know older people too! cre.scot/home/get-invol…

I'm not even originally from here, but I love 💚 #Edinburgh And, at the same time, I'm embarrassed... Calton Hill, major tourist attraction, no need for anyone cleaning up the #litter, apparently. Are Calton Hill Conservation Trust volunteers supposed to do it all?

Holy moly, I think I finally have the footpath near us under control! 𝗖𝗧𝗥𝗟 Now crossing fingers 🤞🏻 that the council will help to keep it clear in years to come... Last couple of old bits of #litter in between all the roots & composted matter: 2014 & 2008! 👷‍♂️⛏️
