Geocache Description:

UPDATE: 5.6.08 Boy, I didn't anticipate this one being that tough. Added 2 clues to get more people recycling
UPDATE: 7.8.08 Still not a lot of action on this one. ANOTHER HUGE CLUE added.



I was asked to place a new one for a CIRO (Cache in Recycle Oout) by -cheeto- event in Jones Park and happily agreed. Curious about how much clean-up the park needed, I took a walk down there the other day to discover that there is a ton, literally, of trash lying around. I find it amazing that an urban park can accumulate this much garbage?
So thanks, -cheeto-, for organizing this CIRO event in an effort to REDUCE the trash in Jones Park. I can appreciate how litter gets blown around in a cityscape and eventually gets hung up in places like this, but what I don't understand is why there seems to be so many recycleable containers in the mix?

Take a look at the picture above and tell me you don't see a whole bunch of stuff that can be recycled. I mean, how hard is it to carry your empty Lemon-Lime Mist soda can back home to your recycle bin rather than tossing it into the woods? Not only that, but I found a bunch of stuff that I could REUSE like hard plastic water bottles, jewel cases and even a tiny little ammo can... wonder why that's here...

So, when you're out there in the area urban and rural parks picking up garbage as you do your caching, just remember that some of it isn't garbage and needs to make its way to the RECYCLE bin and not the rubbish tip, or better yet, back to your workbench to become a new cache container...like the final of this cache! (Thanks Giz)
