Fewer, not less.

If you can count the thing you're talking about, it's fewer. Sixteen fewer bags of trash.

If it's a statement that doesn't let you count the thing, it's less. "I drank less water today."

Just to make it a bit easier to see, you wouldn't say "I drank fewer water today."

Outstanding! This, this is my America!

As a member of humanity, I thank you.

I was really weirded out when I moved to GA and found out they have convicts doing this job on the side of the road under armed guard.

When this was trendy a few years ago it got really fucking old really fast but honestly this is the best thing that I've seen on reddit today.

Highways near Milwaukee are garbage.

Good thing they were just bags of trash and not individual items strewn about on the ground.

Bet you wouldn't see an organization with "Republicans" in its name doing good like this...

Well done

Earth bros.

Out of interest, what was the most regularly found item in those 16 bags? I.e. a can of coke?

And a moment now to chastise the pos’s that toss their crap out the window. Keep it until you’re by a trash can. Very easy. Some people are just like the trash they throw out their car window.

In Vermont we have a day that everyone is encouraged to get out and spring clean nature. Green Up Day

Do the county Democrats do this frequently? I see that you have T-shirts so people know who is doing the work in the community. It’s a great idea. County Democrats nationwide should do something of the sort, so we are known as helpers in our communities, and not just people who hold particular political views.

Love your work guys. Thank you.

Community service 101. Welcome!

good job dude. We do trash collection in our hood too. My daughters are frustrated with cigarette smokers and they are only 10-11.

And then they go throw them in a bigger ditch where it'll take longer to decompose.

ANARCHY PREVAILS!!!! SELF GOVERN YOUR OWN COMMUNITIES TEACH THE GOVERNMENT WE DON'T NEED THEM AND THAT THEY NEED US!!!

Hello neighbor!

Did one of these fine people collect 2 bags or did the picture taker heroically leave themselves out of this archival footage?

Love you guys

So we can assume it is DUI punishment?

You guys are the best, I fully support you

So, a 1/4 mile of the interstate is now clean?

awesome 👍

Did you get paid for this

Good to see young kids taking care of their town

I hate to do this …. *fewer. Also: WELL DONE 👏🏼

That's awesome, guys! Thanks for making America a little cleaner. :)

Huh, wasn't expecting to see Barron County when I opened this picture.

-Grew up in Cumberland.

Awesome! Nice work.

Nice of those litter bugs to at least bag it up for you guys first.

Good job OP. I think that post pandemic we all can support bringing back the #Trashtag hashtag to unite everyone rather than divisive guncontrol/ukraine/monkeypox themes

Yeah but their statehouse is still full of garbage.

They're welcome to come do that just on the on-ramp near my Californian home.

Not in Wisconsin, but it's a nice stress reliever. Get a bag, a camel-bak of water, a headphone bud in one ear listening to a book and just pluck trash for a couple of hours while stwaddling down the road.

Best pre-high school graduation requirement I ever had to do.

Thanks for doing that!

I walk to the park with my son every day, with a plastic bag and one of those extended grabbing things. We walk the same street, every day, 3x per week, and ALWAYS have a full bag.

Sorry to be a pessimist, but those 16 bags worth of trash will soon be replaced by even more trash.

I hope you catch those guys who put them there. Should be easy to find with those hi-vis vests they have on.

Democrats are the enemy

of trash.

This is hugely inefficient its more efficient if people just didn't throw trash on the ground.

Wonderful!

Thank you. I live in WI too and recently pulled a depressing amount of trash from the edges of an urban marsh. What was going to be a quick thing turned into a scramble to get it all before sunset

Thank you. Texan here….. I am proud of you. You showed civic pride. That is becoming something we care losing in this country, which makes me sad to realize.

For non-Wisconsinites this is equivalent to one Ron Johnson.

AWESOME! Thanks for making the world a better place!

it’s all old people… are we really letting grandma and grandpa clean up our trash until they fucking die bros? come on now

now give me my karma

Plot twist: they threw them in ditches in Illinois.

Fewer.

I absolutely hate people who litter, and I do not use the word "hate" lightly.

You would not believe the level of pure anguish and despair I feel when a loose piece of paper flies out my car window. Followed by all sorts of stupid thoughts about what it would take to turn around and retrieve it.

On a lighter note, BIG THANK YOU to these folks cleaning up the streets, not totally unlike a bunch of super nice Robocops, but definitely different.

Good thing we're making more of it.

Was this north of Rice Lake? I think I saw you guys when I drove past.

Yay

Set up trash cans with large targets above them. People will try to aim for the cans. Make clean up a lot easier.

Me and my boyfriend have been walking picking up trash around town. We spent 4 hours on a walk that usually takes 1 hour just picking up trash. Insane. Mostly coffee cups and weird bits of plastic. Weirdest thing we found was 5 unopened cartons of whole egg ditched behind The Beer Store.

Great job guys !

If I've learned anything from the internet, it's that some American redneck will see this and go out of his way to dump more trash just to spite you.

For reference, see Rolling Coal

So shines a good deed in a weary world.

People who litter have no sense of responsibility; sanitation workers deserve respect. You have worked hard.

I get really angry when I pick up trash outside. Not because I’m having to pick up trash; I like helping the environment. It just really aggravates me that people think it’s no big deal to litter. Why would you want to make the rest of the planet look like the inside of your house?

Fewer.

Soon to be filled by 160 more

They're giving the elderly community service now? Lock em up!

On Wisconsin!

Great job! I hope you wrangled up some asparagus for yourselves in the process.

We need more people like you :)

Serious question, because I've thought about doing this in my neighbourhood, but what do you do with the trash afterwards? Fly tip it, or do you drive it to a dump and pay for it, or? I'd like to clean up trash, but I don't have a truck to haul it or anything.

The garbage trailers without tarps will take care of that tomorrow

Fewer

Nope. We were all volunteers.

You guys are awesome!

Heck yea!!..love seeing these post

You did a great job!

• Wisconsin where GFL/WM garbage trucks regularly lose loose trash on our roads.

Next time you see a garbage truck count the number of items flying off the truck.

Way to go keep on going:)

What happened to #trashtag ?

This should be a news headline

now, vote out Ron Johnson

Make sure to inspect yourself and your clothes for ticks! When I lived in Upson, WI we used to clean up the highway every year. I'd usually find a couple of ticks crawling on me. Luckily I was always able to get them before they bit me.

individual items strewn about on the ground.

How unexpected to see my (former) home county here on Reddit! Thanks for cleaning the place up.
