Meet At: Large Parking lot just north of 20th Ave & Industrial Drive (see map).

* All participants must be at least 15 years of age and in good health.
* Some folks have been asking about the forms that are needed. One form is just a log sheet of everyone who picks that day and is filled out at each pick. The other form is a one time thing & requires the last four of your SSN ( to separate you from all the John Smiths). It is used in case there is an accident you are covered by the state L&I insurance (full medical). You can download the form and bring it with you or however, I will have all the forms that are required by the state.

Please remember that, that article was written over 2 years ago. We have come a long way and actually converted some folks since then.

FINALLY IT'S BACK!!! When I first joined OCDO I was too shy to give it a shot, then construction started and I kicked myself for not doing it...

WHOO HOO! Count me in!

I don't think picking up litter is a "Recreational Outdoor Activity"

RCW 9.41.042

(5) In an area where the discharge of a firearm is permitted, is not trespassing, and the person either: (a) Is at least fourteen years of age, has been issued a hunter safety certificate, and is using a lawful firearm other than a pistol; or (b) is under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or other adult approved for the purpose by the parent or guardian;

(6) Traveling with any unloaded firearm in the person's possession to or from any activity described in subsection (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of this section;

So after the litter pick up we go shooting at the range.

Pm me so we don't hijack the thread any more than it already is.....

**tombrewster421** · 08-12-2011, 08:34 PM

I'm in!

**jt59** · 08-15-2011, 12:13 AM

I'll plan on coming as well.

**tombrewster421** · 09-28-2011, 03:26 PM

Bump! Just a week and a half away folks.

**massivedesign** · 10-04-2011, 05:23 PM

A couple of questions.

1 - Starts at 10. Is there a specific end time? I ask because I am going to Blue Man Group that evening so need to make sure I have enough time to do both.
2 - Do we have a head count?? I have 10-12 "grabbers" that I can bring.

It usually takes about 1-2 hrs at most depending on the amount of people that show up. At this time 4 have confirmed.

I just moved and I have no idea where I put the orange reflective vests that are required. I'm still looking.

**massivedesign** · 10-05-2011, 09:04 AM

Well, if you do not have me down, mark me as one of the confirmed. I'll be there and I will bring grabbers too.

**chehalis scott** · 10-05-2011, 04:55 PM

Ill try to make this one, no guarentees but if i can make it i will.

**massivedesign** · 10-08-2011, 10:13 PM

See you guys in the AM!

**TechnoWeenie** · 10-09-2011, 12:30 AM

I'll be there.

**Bill Starks** · 10-09-2011, 01:00 AM

OK, we have a bit of an issue. In my recent move I have misplaced all of the orange reflective safety vests and without these vests we cannot be on the highway and pick up trash. I have gone through all of the tubs and boxes and have not found them, I believe the help I had may have saw the white trash bag and assumed they were trash and threw them away.

I will talk with our coordinator to see about getting them replaced but at this time I have to cancel the Oct 9th Litter Pick up.

**massivedesign** · 10-09-2011, 09:40 AM

Damn!!!

**Mad Pick** · 10-09-2011, 10:13 AM

Well, I guess I'm gonna have to reload this morning instead . . . .

**Bill Starks** · 10-10-2011, 12:22 AM

Good News, vests have been found. All signage, vest and other related equipment is at hand, so for the November pick we will be all ready.

We could try and do a pick on Oct 16th or we can wait till Nov 13th.

**massivedesign** · 10-10-2011, 09:03 AM

16th!!!!!!!

Really, either is fine, but let's decide soon so we can get the word out. There were a few people on WGO who were going to participate as well.

**Bill Starks** · 10-10-2011, 12:39 PM

Let's put the word out that it will happen on the 16th.

**Stat** · 10-13-2011, 10:47 AM

I had some practice last night; picked up about four blocks around my place. OC cleanup / dog walk. Question, what is the minimum age for this event on the 16th?
