We've got two pick-up sticks here, one for inside, one for outside.
We regularly have to pick up fag packets and sweetie wrappers, plus junk-food stuff from the road-kill joint at the top, from where they are chucked by morons, but, around the corner, near the pub, the little yobs sink a can or three of cheap lager, then go to the tables designated inside. The cans and bottles are of course, left in the road, together with fag-ends etc.
Chums and I around here generally pick the rubbish up and use the sticks, as there is no way I'm collecting their germs by hand!
