San Mateo County Health System is lauding a Millbrae resident who “picked up over 10,000 butts in just 1 month.”

In fact, the do-gooder, identified as Lydia, broke her own record with this feat. She reportedly “takes it upon herself to pick up cigarette butt litter off the ground when walking her dog along Coyote Point,” the county says.

“Thank you Lydia for helping to keep San Mateo County clean,” SMCHS reported on Facebook.
