The author David Sedaris is apparently a compulsive trash picker-upper. He's said he has walked for up to 9 hours per days picking up garbage on the side of the road all the while. His town in the UK named a garbage truck after him, and he was invited to meet the Queen of England because of it (she used to meet with people who performed large amounts of community service).

His stories about some of the things he encountered on these walks are pretty funny. Can't wait for the next installment of his memoirs.
Yeah, considering how much inspiration he got from it, I bet he could legitimately deduct the costs from his taxes!
