Not all homeless people are addicts and drunks. I got injured, couldn't work for a year, spent 6mos in the woods. But I always kept the camp orderly and took my trash to the dumpster. Trash is the biggest reason nobody wants them around and the first thing to draw attention to their site

I lost a live oak tree during a hurricane in 2020 , I planted it when it was 1” in diameter and that was 30 years ago! When the hurricane hit and uprooted it, the base of the tree was 44” in diameter! The rootball was 12 high in the air with the tree laying down! I was sick because it was such a healthy and good shade tree, I was so upset that I wasn’t thinking about firewood or anything when the guys came over to clean up my debris! I lost that big oak tree, a cedar, a weeping willow and 9 pretty good size pine trees! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻

Homeless camps up in the midlands have grown a lot as well, especially in the Red Bank/Lexington area. This region has seen explosive growth in new home construction to accommodate the exodus of people from up north. As a result, whenever a plot of land is cleared for development, they have to do the same thing you're doing in this video and perform an almost HAZMAT-level cleanup of the land before it can be surveyed.

@@debrabrooks6138 So, you were one of the one percent that needed and wanted help. I'm glad you're back on your feet. Skid row taught me that, for every one of you, there are 99 others who aren't willing to do what it takes to improve their lives because of drug addiction or mental illness or a combination of the two. I'm still a social worker today. We housed homeless in the Denver libraries last winter during a cold spell. Those buildings were closed for the next 3 weeks while HAZMAT crews had to remove meth residuals from the carpets, walls, etc. Syringes were found between books, so all the books.....in a library....had to be removed and checked for drug contamination. The homeless took over the new Denver Union Station, openly did drugs (because the government wanted to "protect their rights", and started to intimidate and sometimes attack travelers who wouldn't give them money. They urinated in corners.....even though there were public restrooms 50 feet away. Most homeless are addicts. It's not my opinion; it's a fact.

I have watched your videos before, but it was weird watching you clean up an area I don't live far from. It is one thing to be homeless but another to be trashy homeless. I have family members who are homeless right now in Myrtle Beach, and it's sad, but they have burned their bridges with the family. You can do so much to help someone, especially those you love, but when it comes to helping and they still steal from you and do drugs on your property its time to cut the strings. It is so much nicer driving by the areas that are getting cleaned out. No seeing half dressed people who are dirty and don't seem to care. These areas are not far from the beach. Go and wash off in the water, wash your clothes. I've helped in the soup kitchens. One was close by there years ago. It seemed like an endless line of people. Thank you for doing such a great job cleaning all the trash and shrubs out. Once the shrubs are gone and the trees thinned out, they go and find someplace else to live.

Just asking, because these large remaining wood pieces need ages to rot away, so likely they have to be removed by the next user by HAND. With the clap down and boing backward the mulcher picks up the larger pieces and runs them a few times through the drum, and so you get a fine mulch. And only THAT would be a good job.
