were split between road safety, distraction, noise and hygiene
issues when picking up waste from the streets. Participants
articulated that they would want a cleaning drone agent but

pointed out that they would not want to pick up waste dropped
by someone else, as shown in the comment “I disagree with
having to pick up trash from the street with my bare hands -
maybe the drone could provide gloves?
