Litter picking in Torry

I had the day off work today so I went litter-picking in Torry. I spent most of this time by Victoria bridge where the riverside walking path starts. I have been eyeing the litter here for a little while and had it in my sights to return with a bag and picker. It was hard going because there were hundreds of cigarette butts which were painfully difficult and time-consuming to pick up. Big pieces of litter like crisp packets and bottles are quick and easy; it’s the small things that take time. I felt like I was getting RSI by the end.

I filled a whole black bag while listening to history channels on YouTube so it was very entertaining and overall a pleasant way to spend a few hours.

As I left I noticed the other side of the road completely overflowing with litter so I’ll return next time to tackle that.
