[Flying fisho]

Litter is always a bit of a problem for us and not just carried in rubbish from floods or late night party animals at our field. I had a spare plastic drum at home & have taken it for permanent placement at the field. It is currently in the pilot box to save it being stolen or washed away in heavy flooding rain. I also bought some garbage bags to be placed inside the drum but accidently left them in my car. I will put them inside the drum for ongoing use when I am next at the field and am I happy to replentish them as they deplete. The bin's placement in a central location like yesterday should be considered an essential part of the field setup as important as the pilot box fencing, cones & windsock.
I will also leave a couple of pickip tools to save bending to pick up the stray cigarette butts, discarded repair offcuts, broken props etc that often seem to litter the place. Dropping said items in the bin in the first place or doing a quick cleanup at the end of the day's flying will give us a better presentation for visitors and add a bit more pride in our field.
I am happy to dispose of the filled garbage bag at the end of the day and hopefully the last to leave on the day can can also do the honours should I not be available or simply take turns. Alternatively if only a small bit of rubbish is in it, the drum has a tight lid to contain the rubbish should a part filled drum be left in the field box
