How

  1. Choose a pavement, park or stop in daylight.
  2. Bring a glove or bag if you have one.
  3. Pick up only what you can take without climbing, leaning into traffic or opening containers.
  4. Dispose of it properly. Register the place approximately, such as the district, not a home address.
Safety

Stay on public ground. Do not step into the roadway. Do not touch needles, chemicals or dead animals. Not an activity for a child without an adult.

Accessibility

Only ground you can walk safely. Do not collect along a road if you cannot leave the carriageway.

Expected evidence

Register that I have done it

This becomes level 1, a registered action. It does not become a verified result.
