A guy at the Ocean Beach cleanup told me to quit bagging everything together and it changed how I sort
Last Saturday in San Diego a regular named Ray watched me toss a full bag into the dumpster and said 'you just threw away 40 pounds of recycling that pays for your gloves.' Now I run three buckets, one for cans and plastic, one for glass, one for trash, and our crew pulls about $30 in CRV per month. Does anyone else split their haul like this or am I overcomplicating a simple job?

Sorting into three buckets at a beach cleanup just means more hands touching trash and more time standing around, and $30 a month split across a crew is not worth the extra work. One bag keeps the pace up, and pace is what actually gets the beach clean. Ray's tip sounds clever but it slows down the job that matters.
