In recognition of my 50th birthday, I will complete 50 "facelifts". A "facelift" is 50 minutes of trash pickup, completed in an effort to keep our world clean and beautiful.

10/24/10, I-95 Ramp off Route 31 - #18
This facelift was another site identified by Julie on her way to work. We went over on a Sunday morning, so the traffic was pretty light. However, when cars did zip by, they went very fast. Both sides of the road were thick with litter. Unfortunately, much of it was shredded by a recent mow, which made it more difficult to collect. There was also a fair amount of glass, and much of it was broken as well. Hence, my first on-the-facelift cut. We came away with a flattened traffic cone and two large bags filled to capacity. We only really completed half of 1 of the 4 entryways onto 95. That means it will take 8 pickups to adequately clean up this area, which is daunting. What about our other high-litter locations that need constant attention? And the worst news is that Julie leaves for Africa on October 31st for 6 weeks. That leaves me ... alone!
