"We couldn't believe it. It went from 1,000 to 2,000 to 3,000 and as of yesterday, I'm over 8,500," she said.where she posts pictures of her daily hauls to raise awareness of her work and the trash problem.

"From Lockeport to Shelburne is 30 kilometres. But I can pick those same areas just about every day and get a fresh lot of cups, cans and bottles," she said.
