“A constant stream of metal bits,” said Alex Benigno, who rides the streets every day collecting loose metal debris with magnets attached to his bike.
Alex Benigno, a.k.a. the “Atlanta Magnet Man,” rides through a city neighborhood to remove metal bits from the road with his magnetic trailer. Alex Benigno was sick of changing his flat tires. He was getting them all the time on his car tires as he drove around Atlanta, and on his bike tires when he biked after work.Benigno decided to do something about it. During the pandemic, when there wasn’t much traffic on the streets, he noticed there were small bits of metal debris strewn everywhere.
“From there, I decided to keep going out after work every day, added more magnets and tried all kinds of configurations with them to get to where I was collecting even more,” he said. “I’m still sorting through it, and he’ll soon be bringing more,” said Lewis, 49. “I’m thankful that he’s picking up scrap. It gives me hope to know someone’s out there, cleaning up after people and taking action.
“Probably the strangest thing I’ve seen is a live round bullet, but I also saw a construction crane hook once,” he said. “I had to pick that one up by hand. Mostly, it’s nails, screws, washers and stuff that’s fallen off cars. A constant stream of metal bits.”
