Plum Island beach Clean Up

[LeCounts1099]

PC... I know exactly the type of which you write about above...


And it's the most infuriating thing you'll ever see! Nature is indeed many idiots' waste disposal dump!


We feel your pain!

C'mon N. Bostonians / N. Shore guys-- get down there & help out please!

Thanks Le Counts.
I have moved beyond the infuriation and focus only on what I can do.
I'll tell ya one thing though, I sleep very well after a day of beach cleaning.
It is food for my soul.
It gives me a chance to give back to something I love so much and get so much from.
I don't get so angry at the crap on the beach anymore. I just pick it up.
I have cleaned many beaches from Plum to Race in the last 10 years and I have heard every excuse known to man as to why people can't do it.
Hell I even worked every clean up one year in a leg cast.
I paid dearly each night, but it was worth it.
I have lost many hours of payable work time and sacrificed family and friends.
All to save our access. For me and for the future.
All I know is that when they close the beach for good it will not be because I didn't try.

I just saw this thread for the first time, I will be there with my son (7 yrs. old) & my wife, I also have a red ford f-350, if it is needed I would be happy to be the 3rd truck.

It was a great day we took a lot of junk off the beach, I filled my truck many times. I did have a small problem and basically limped home, thanks to everyone who showed up.

Thank YOU Bob.
It was a great day and we made a huge dent.
The trucks took a beating. I hope you can easily fix yours.
I think you and Jules made more trips up and down than any of us.
We stopped picking up traps so we could fit more junk in.
It would take 20 trucks a week of working all day everyday to get all those traps in.
I couldn't believe how many were between 5 and 7.
Lots of them in perfect shape too.
There was Girl Scout troop and a church group helping out and I was very happy to see many of the regular fishermen.
Kudos to all!
