According to Conserve Energy Future, the most common littered objects include the following in descending order: fast food, paper, aluminium, glass, and plastic. It turns out someone would rather toss their burger wrapper and empty soda on the street than find a garbage can, and not surprisingly, this is mostly done on roadside and highways. Here, NHS members volunteered time out of their day, after school, to pick up trash from Wyman Park and Tabor Park.
