Clear the litter off the Passaic riverbank path.

The Passaic River along the Ironbound is a federal cleanup site decades in the making, and its public bank at Riverbank Park still collects a constant tide of plastic and dumped trash. Every bag removed from the dry bank is material that never re-enters the river the community is fighting to get back.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after segment photos plus a bag tally

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

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Walk the assigned dry-bank and path segment and flag any hazardous item without touching it.
2. Pick litter with grabbers into bags, separating recyclables where clean.
3. Weigh or count the filled bags at the staging point.
4. Leave bags at the agreed pickup spot.
5. Photograph the segment before and after and the bag tally with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the littered segment with GPS and date
• After photo of the same segment clean
• Photo of the bag tally at staging

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
