Trip Report

Imagine a perfectly sunny Monday morning. Seven friends meet at the easternmost point of the Delta Path (corner of Delta Hwy and Green Acres Rd) to make this little corner of the planet a little cleaner. Then imagine the very happy people picking up the trash. In 90 minutes, we picked up over 150 pounds of mixed rubbish. It was a bit of a festive feeling to leave a cleaner trail behind us, but it was too much for us to carry away.
I called the City of Eugene Parks and Open Spaces hotline for help with the disposal but was redirected to an online form.
Then Mari called the Lane County Public Works Department and after a few friendly redirects, she found a place and made arrangements for us to drop off the collected trash. Luckily, it was very close, so Angie and I walked there with all that trash towering over a shopping cart.
Thank you friends! Volunteers like you deserve a huge round of applause.
