If however, everyone would stop and pick up a beer can, a candy wrapper, or some other piece of trash, just one or two, and stash it in a small bag in the golf cart, the grounds would look so much better than waiting for the maintenance crews to come by. Just a suggestion. Call it a good deed for the day, or being neighborly.
Kudos.

I too do a lot of walking, along the MMP that parallels El Camino Real mainly. And yes--a LOT of stuff is tossed. The maintenance people do pick stuff up when they mow but there seems to always be a fresh supply of trash. Quite a few of those little liquor bottles ("Fireball" whiskey, those little one-shot vodka bottles, etc.), a LOT of cigarette butts, empty wine bottles, empty beer cans, you name it. A couple of weeks ago I spotted a pair of men's undershorts.

Amazing. I wonder if these litterbugs the same kind of pigs at home as they apparently are on public paths.
