no doubt cigerett buts, cigerett selophane and foil rappers along with gum foil rappers lay there killing grass for ten years...
you would not beleive the number of hours I have spent just picking up gum rappers. I know they have been there for ever cause the foil had seperated from the paper.
when I worked for one of the beaches in my area years ago it was our job to pick up and comb the beach every morning before the sun bathers showed up. I didnt mind being on the beach early in the morning, quite enjoyable, but my time could have been better spent if I could have been repairing other sections of the park like benches tables water fountains. Ya may not beleive this but spending all that time on picking up cigerett buts off the beach and lawn surounding the beach set us behind at the end of the year, which means there were out houses that did not get repainted, tables that did not get repaired, benches that were pulled because it was deamed time consuming to have to maintenance them and the area around them.
I will have to grab my camera and take some pictures of the trash in the city parks around me because the city I live in deems that cleaning the park is a waist of funds.
There is one park near my home that I clean up once per week during the summer. I started cleaning it last year and for the first two month I spent 6 hours per week working on a one mile stretch picking up what hasnt been picked up in years.
I am not aposed to smoking, I am just not a fan of picking up cigerett buts. them filters are not bio degradable. I realy hate when some one comes over to my house and throws cigerett butts in my drive way or yard.
