You might think Richard Shirk and his friends are crazy for giving up their Sunday morning to collect garbage. To that, Shirk has one word: rubbish.
OAKLAND -- You might think Richard Shirk and his friends are crazy for giving up their Sunday morning to collect garbage. "It's so satisfying to do what we do. We walk down the street later. The street is clean. We go the park later, the park is clean," he said.
"In the very beginning it was almost like a coping mechanism for us to have some interaction with friends in a safe way. And then we found out how enjoyable it is," Shirk said. And while it may not sound very romantic, picking up litter was the perfect pick-up line for first-time Falcon member John Shannon. He asked out Haley Frits on date and she said yes. It was a bold move that seems to have paid off, big time. In the last two years, the group has gone on more than 150 missions. Shirk estimates they've picked up tons of trash so far.
