    As a litter picker myself I realize that I can’t clean up the whole world but I can keep my own little corner of it clean. You do what you can.

    Good grief you’d think it was a can recycling area!
    What is the matter with people?!
    It’s all over the world I don’t get it?
    Great job!
    You do a great job mate!

    I felt so disappointed seeing this mess after the effort you have all done previously. Keep on going Gerard, at least your viewers appreciate what you are achieving each litter pick. The Government really needs to implement a returns policy throughout the U.K., even if those people littering cans and bottles don’t return them, there would definitely be more people collecting them if they had some sort of reward at the end of it. Sadly many people these days won’t do anything for free.

    The hedges are trimmed, so did they close their eyes at the trash?

    Perfectly understandable that you're tired of picking litter & seeing no progress. Just do what you can & we'll keep watching.

    If this was anywhere with some return money. there would be alot less bottles and cans. like you said. sometimes it seems hopeless but it's a good battle.

    Don't blame you for giving up on The Pit. I myself gave up litter picking a street with multi family dwellings. The tenants are nasty they don't care, I would complain to the landlords, but they don't have an office on the premises. The tenants are immigrants they bring their customs of throwing trash on their front yards. They are renting so they are expecting the city or the landlords to clean up, but they don't. So I gave up. Greetings from Central Tx.

  • @Ruuddudechillwiththebril
    @Ruuddudechillwiththebril หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    This really calls for a rebate system on bottles and cans! We have seen drastic decreases in bottles and cans whilst litter picking in the Netherlands … and especially those that can use an extra buck start to contribute in keeping the place clean

    Ah, The Pit. It will never change. Sad people take no pride in their neighborhood there. Great job trying to make an improvement, Gerard. You always do a fantastic job! When you move to the US is it a permanent move or will you eventually end up back in the UK? Can't wait for your 7 videos in 7 days! 😊

  • @lindasmith3573

    If you had 10cent refund on your cans and bottles like we do in Australia you could make a good amount of money over time collecting them all

    In Sweden you could have got a lot of money for the cans. 1 swedish crown for each can. 1 swedish crown = 0,071 pound. When you watch action movies with Jason Statham it is just like taking a break from reality and you do not have to think about what is going to happen next.

    I don’t understand the littering. Why after seeing an area clean do you decide to throw trash on the ground. I just don’t get it.

  • @JamesDavis-nx4ev
    @JamesDavis-nx4ev 28 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Jarad,I know it is frustrating to live among idiots but don't let them win by not keeping the pit clean of litter because everything you and Chili did will be in vain.There is always going to be liter.When my mom walked in her neighborhood she would pick up litter on her daily walks and would come back with litter everyday with litter from the same area she picked the day before ,she just wanted to keep her neighborhood clean. I suggest that you put a garbage can in the pit even if you have to buy it ,that would at least help a little .Come on Jared, you can do it,never give up.!Davis,S.USA😊

    @Michael-ln7us หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Another great pick, i get your frustrations its hard going to keep yourself positive about areas like the pit. These private companies should be fined by the local authority.
    Bring on the container scheme it will hopefully reduce litter, encourage people to pick and give litter pickers like yourself some decent money for your efforts. My collections soon add up.
    Love a bit of jason statham

They are not worthy of you Gerard so leave them to wallow in their own mess. Hope Chilli joins you in your decision 😇

    I can only imagine how fed up you are with the littering and no government action to remedy the problem! Enjoy joining you on your picking trips…. Please don’t give up!
    My thoughts on a positive thing for you to purpose to the Council :
    Turn the area where the actual PIT is located into a trial trash collection zone.
    Engage the Council to contact the owner of the PIT spot.
    1. Have the City work crews clear the PIT ground of trees and brush and level the land.
    2. If it were at all possible, have the City workers pour a cement pad for these four bins to sit on:
    Use OPEN WIRE BINS….. so rain water doesn’t collect in them and no lids to deter depositors.
    4 BIG WIRE BINS - one each marked:
    CANS - GLASS - PLASTICS - TRASH
    Place an upbeat beautification banner behind them asking the public’s help in keeping London beautiful for our Community and its Visitors.

    Hello sir, I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything like that, but your videos are giving me motion sickness because of the shakiness. I think there are stabilizer plugins in the youtube video editor or in other editing software that would let me keep watching your amazing content. I'm a fellow litter picker, and your ability to tackle the hardiest messes is inspiring, so please don't glean any negativity from this comment. :)
