We have annual pick ups on the MO. River and many small streams. Not hard to classify debris like aluminum cans, glass bottles, etc., but wondering about age in order to give some idea of pounds per year, etc., etc.etc. If we clean the same area once a year and keep records of amounts, etc., it may give us an idea of how effective our litter prevention programs are working. Looking for ideas&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Chas. Laun (MO.
