My partner was my boyfriend; we took turns doing the assignment. One person picked up the trash, while the other tallied up what items we picked up. The most tallies we got were cigarette butts and candy wrappers. In just our bag we found over 200 cigarette butts and wasn’t able to collect them all that we saw.
