Jeffco Open Space Ranger 'Frustrated’ With Gender Reveal Party Litter
"We have 10 hour days, and I don't want to spend four hours of that day cleaning up someone's mess."
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – On Monday morning, Jefferson County Open Space Ranger Maggie Krause was finishing a routine survey of the Crown Hill Open Space. She came across what’s believed to be a gender reveal party that left litter scattered across a trail.
“I went over there and found just hundreds of pieces of small pieces of blue crate paper. I’m going to have to spend a lot of time picking this up, and I was very frustrated and annoyed,” Krause said.
It took Krause four hours to clean up the mess. She was helped by another ranger and occasionally hikers would pitch in and pick up handfuls of trash.
