New Resident Mission SF & # 39; The first project: cleaning waste

Jeff Winkle has a job in a bank, but is preparing to start picking up trash.

If Winkle began searching for a place to live in San Francisco, one of the first things we noticed was the garbage.

"I think San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but now I qualify only your head keep telling forward" that - is.

Winkle, 24, arrived there two months South Carolina, and grew up near Chicago. After dreaming for the last eight years after San Francisco has done it, and now works from her home in Valencia and 18. From the window you can see floating garbage around the street.

Winkle has specialized in the research, done as towns fight waste. to find a clear answer, he chose the obvious - picking up trash - too.

On Tuesday, he returned to Reddit and was asked : Is there anyone to help clean the mission is interested in?

Yes, some are. Dozens of people have e - mail (a thecleanmission@gmail.com brings) Interest expressed or offer advice on how to a cleaning process or truck manages the waste transport. This is - to - say nothing and comments clicks on the job.

So far everything is going well. Now remnants of their civil action Winkle smoldering.

"The most important thing is so far the logistics generally agreed" in - he said. "It seems easier to move around and pick up garbage, sounds like a simple concept."

But it is not. For example: If you go with a group of people and collect the garbage that will be? And, of course, not all radicals are identical. This is San Francisco, after all, and blowing in the wind may be undesirable or can be recycled or can - composted. Or you can - be a biohazard.

The plan is to find a partner - collected waste even treat - the city agency or a company like Recology. Currently, it seems public works could be the best candidate, but nothing is in stone, Winkle said. Then - he says it's time to get up to a website and people running an easy to give way to start if you want to help instead.

Winkle This is the plan from existing programs in the city begins to diverge. It is a " one Street Adopt Program," through which citizens voluntarily can keep, while the city has the necessary equipment to do so, but he writes to a small area residents specifically your block SPIC-and-span. The thought of more Winkle - trucks, no pockets full, if you like.

"I was thinking a little more long - term scalability" on - he said.

It has been speculated that it was probably focused on the area immediately around it at first, because he knows better. Looking out the window in a recent interview, he saw cigarettes drift past a paper plate and beer containers in the street.

Next - depending on where people see problems - you will achieve often dumped in other places in the neighborhood

After that? Well, maybe - either it takes the whole city.
