So one day I went to pickup along the sidewalks near Best Buy in Augusta, Georgia. I drove up into a raised, not very maintained parking lot behind Buffalo Wild Wing to park my truck. Wow! Sad! It was like a dump. I went back on Martin Luther King, Jr. day and cleaned most of it up. There was just so, so much litter there. This was just the parking lot and the surrounding semi-forest around it. I don’t know if Buffalo Wild Wing owns it, but they must be the source. It seems like a gate or a barrier there would really help keep the place clean (or cleaner). There were plenty of Buffalo Wild Wing cups and really a massive load of cans and bottles. Look at the list of items and weights. Beer, liquor, bottles, and cans. It was just grab and sort, grab and sort. It almost made me want to put a trash can up there. When the math is done what I picked up here was equivalent to 473 pounds / acre. The October 2nd pickup was the nearest by weight / acre at 208 pounds. In all fairness I don’t think people can walk out of a place like Buffalo Wild Wing with their cans and bottles, but there were a lot of cups from that restaurant.
