I want to put forth the idea of having a Shoot Site Cleanup. A piece of public ground that I liked to shoot on was recently closed, mainly due to trash left behind by shooters. I know that we generally do a pretty good job of picking up after ourselves at the shoot, but it absolutely wouldn't kill us to pick up after some other people as well. If we can get several people who are willing to spend 1-2 hours picking up trash, I think we can make a pretty good dent in the detritus left behind by the irresponsible folks. I'm picturing this occurring either before or after either day (or both) of the shoot proper.
What we would need:
1. Garbage bags
2. People to fill some garbage bags
3. Some method of hauling full garbage bags to an acceptable place to dispose of them
4. An acceptable place to dispose of full garbage bags
I would be happy to provide garbage bags. If we can get a few people to commit to helping out I would also be happy to rent a pickup to drive out to the shoot site, so 1 and 3 would be satisfied. I'll need to do some research to find out where we could dump the trash, and get some sort of an idea on the cost of said dumping. If there are any locals that know of places I'd appreciate it if you can give me a heads up. I'm sure there are other considerations I'm missing, this isn't really a fully formed idea, just something that popped into my head today...
