When my kids were you I used to give them a dollar to fill one of those grocery bags with garbage.
BTW If you try this make sure to tell your kids that the garbage has to come from the ground. I caught one of mine pulling trash out of a trash can.
The real kick is I would stop somewhere on the way home and let them buy/choose a treat. Yeah, the same one I was going to have to buy for them if they didn't earn some money. I don't think they ever caught onto that.
Good on you all for cleaning up. I have filled many bags myself. And anyone cleaning up where I am fishing is welcome to walk up and pick a half dozen flies from my collection as my appreciation.
