Plastic on the Beach Part Three

beach-trash-007I didn’t take many pictures on my last trip to the beach. I found a newish garbage bag and used it to pick up about 50 PET water bottles in about 1 minute. Around here, old guys with push carts or carts pulled with mopeds go look through the dumpsters and along the roadsides gathering thousands of these water bottles. I am very curious about the economics of this activity. I have seen a truck heading out of town in the late afternoon with large woven polypropylene bags of water bottles piled precariously high.

I spy one half of a red plastic clothespin in the above picture. If anyone wants to trade it for something of greater value, please get in touch.
