It's getting warmer out. More people outside. More trash. Picked up the second vape pen off the street in a few days today.

Really want to recycle the batteries in there, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Any ideas?

Today we found 4 nerf darts, one of which had seen some car tires and went into the proper trash, but we got 3 working ones.

I don't feel like calling this #urbanmining because that seems like an active thing which this is clearly not. #urbanforaging would feel right but seems to be focused on food only. Is there a decent term for it?

Found another vape thrown into the grass 😒 This time is quite a chunky one. Has a USB port for recharging but nothing to load more liquid it seems. Curious whether the charging circuit is separate from the rest of the electronics so I could potentially reuse it 🤔 #urbanmining
This weekend we found more nerf darts but they were broken so it was more of a #plogging thing than #urbanmining
To be honest I'm not sure what upsets me more. Leaving broken stuff out in nature or leaving usable stuff 🤔 I guess it's just both a bit upsetting.
