Clear dumped trash from the street beside Ajegunle's drainage canal (2026-07-19)

Bulk trash piles up on the public street beside Ajegunle's drainage canal because collection is irregular, and the pile keeps washing into the canal every time it rains, feeding local flooding. Clearing the dry street-side pile keeps that trash out of the water without anyone entering the canal. Standard: UNEP freshwater ecosystem health guidance; SDG 6.6 Proof: before/after photo of cleared street + volume log Method (UNEP freshwater ecosystem health guidance; SDG 6.6): 1. Confirm the target stretch of street beside the canal. 2. Put on gloves and closed shoes before handling any material. 3. Sort general trash from anything sharp, electronic, or chemical and set the latter aside untouched. 4. Bag and stack the general trash for the collector the host names. 5. Photograph the cleared stretch and log the weight or volume removed. Done when: before/after photo of cleared street + volume log

$240 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

before/after photo of cleared street + volume log

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: EPA dry-weather / AMD field screening

Bring

• GPS phone
• pH meter or strips
• conductivity meter
• ammonia + iron test kit as specified
• surfactant screen if specified
• gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the outfall/reach; record GPS; photograph it, capturing any visible flow or staining.
2. 2. Note whether flow is present in dry weather (yes/no).
3. 3. Measure and record pH, conductivity, and each specified analyte per kit instructions.
4. 4. Log any color, odor, floc, or aquatic-life observation.
5. 5. Enter all readings with units, GPS, time, and photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Dry-weather flow present with elevated conductivity/ammonia/surfactants -> flag suspected illicit discharge for the responsible agency.
• pH < 6 with visible iron floc -> tag suspected acid mine drainage; recommend metals lab panel.

What counts as done

• pH + conductivity recorded with units
• Each specified analyte recorded with a value
• Dry-weather flow present? recorded yes/no
• GPS waypoint + timestamped photo

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
