Our Special Projects

Today my grandpa, my dad and I went to Soquel creek near Nob Hill to take out the grocery cart we found last Clean up your creek.


Another grocery cart just thrown in last night; we took it to Nob Hill.

After that we went to Aptos creek to pull out another cart we found two Clean up your creeks ago.

We dropped off the carts at the Buena Vista landfill.

We had to roll the carts off the edge of the cliff into the bin.

I made a photo of a recycle bin.

We picked up some mulch because my grandpa needed some.

  1. Wow, thats a big day and some great results, looks like a lot of work with those carts, it was nice that you had some more family for lots of help.

    I didn't know you could get mulch at the dump, I guess that they make it from the yard waste that goes out with the recycling,thanks for telling about that.

    Keep up with the good work, that water flows to the ocean and its important to keep all the plastic out.

    Good job!

  2. Good job all of you. Makes me a proud great gramma to see all that work going on. Keep up the good work and I will call Shirley and tell her to get onto this blog. I'm sure she will think that is great being the horticulurist she is.
