Not a Part of the Natural Forest Floor
In this photo there is a pile of scrap aluminum siding with insulation material on the back side, a plastic bag filled with aluminum cans and another one in the leaves, blue rubber gloves, and to the right of the rubber gloves, something white, pink, and blue striped that appears to be fabric, and lastly a purple plastic bit that I can't make out.
Recycled scrap aluminum has value. Recyclers pay by the pound!
In the link below consider reading about: "The Environmental Impact of Aluminum (And Why it’s Still Better Than Plastic)" You can read about the pros and cons of using aluminum, but why it still has a downside for the environment.

Learning what materials can be recycled and how to best sort them for that purpose is the first step in helping our environment and reusing what we already available.
"In a study done by social psychologist Shawn Burn, it was found that personal contact with individuals within a neighborhood is the most effective way to increase recycling within a community. In her study, she had 10 block leaders talk to their neighbors and persuade them to recycle. A comparison group was sent fliers promoting recycling. It was found that the neighbors that were personally contacted by their block leaders recycled much more than the group without personal contact. As a result of this study, Shawn Burn believes that personal contact within a small group of people is an important factor in encouraging recycling."
"Another study done by Stuart Oskamp examines the effect of neighbors and friends on recycling. It was found in his studies that people who had friends and neighbors that recycled were much more likely to also recycle than those who didn't have friends and neighbors that recycled."
"Many schools have created recycling awareness clubs in order to give young students an insight on recycling. These schools believe that the clubs actually encourage students to not only recycle at school but at home as well." See the link below for all the basics of recycling!

*As much as paid employees do to help cleanup and beautify our communities and parks, we each have a responsibility. It is not anyone's "right" to throw their personal waste on the ground with that attitude that someone else gets paid to do it for them!
