I don’t understand why people cannot put their trash in receptacles, even if they are under the influence. :)

Not trying to embarrass you, but I think you mistook this for your Instagram? This is a WSB post about other people volunteering to clean up Alki.

I believe they do this in Seaside, OR and one café encouraged people to bring the buckets back for a free drink!

So much plastic. I was concerned about entanglement as well. Lots of derelict fishing gear and ribbons… It’s so bad every time I’m there.We are so lucky to have a cleaner Alki, who cleans almost daily and came to me with bags and buckets and grabbers There has also been a memorial and they left hundreds of fake rose petalsLater in the day I responded to a juv gull entangled in a fishing net in the West Duwamish waterway I know so many folks who clean up trash every single day. I love them all❤️
