Program Removes 16 Tons Of Litter

City Administrator Wendy Gabriel: "We received a report from the Kootenai County Solid Waste Department that in 2011 the City of Coeur d’Alene’s Adopt-a-Street program delivered from Coeur d’Alene roadways a staggering total of 16.02 tons of trash to the County Transfer Station. This is certainly an impressive figure that illustrates the effectiveness of the program and dedication of the 34 volunteer groups that make this possible. Our roads stay much cleaner as a result. The City’s Adopt-a-Street program was established by the City Council in August 2000."

Question: What is the oddest litter item you've found while participating in a road side cleanup or Coeur d'Alene's Adopt-A-Street program?
