I have a dog, and when we're walking around I always notice all the cigarette butts on the ground (because my dog tries to eat everything off the ground so I have to watch). It doesn't surprise me that so much litter is just tobacco products.

(Also I live in NYC these days, but I used to live in SF).

And nowadays in NYC I’m seeing discarded plastic vaping things, which is even worse, imo.
I've noticed this too. If you have a dog, you also learn very quickly just how many discarded chicken bones exist throughout the city (hint: it's more than you want it to be).
I completely agree. I clean up with Emin and rubbish, and this project was initially inspired because I have a corgi vacuum cleaner who eats everything on the ground. Once I started scanning, it's impossible to unsee the litter. So we started cleaning and recording it!
Discarded chicken wings have become a bit of a trope in Atlanta.
