Arthur tells the viewers about how his father has the habit of getting into some weird things that he also drags Arthur into doing. Arthur remarks how one time [[David Read|his Dad]] took him to the [[Fisherman and Son's Sunrise Breakfast]], where the breakfast turned out to be seafood (LIVE seafood). Another occasion was when Arthur's dad arranged for his son and his class to sing in a ballad about dental health, with Arthur delivering the big finish in what turned out to be a silly musical. And then he brings up the time his dad got him into the "Clean-up Brigade". | |||
Arthur and Buster are playing Frisbee in the park, which has become disgusting because of the huge piles of trash the people have dumped there. The Frisbee lands in a polluted fountain, so the two boys go home, and express how angry they are at how badly polluted the park has become. | Arthur and Buster are playing Frisbee in the park, which has become disgusting because of the huge piles of trash the people have dumped there.

Arthur mentions that an army would be needed to clean up the park, and at that point, his dad suggests that their army could be called the "Clean-up Brigade". Buster runs off at this idea and Arthur's dad, in his excitement calls up all the parents to get their kids to join in. | ||

He takes Arthur to see the local recycling center, where Arthur finds a massive command center for all garbage-collecting and recycling activities in [[Elwood City]]. There, Mr. Frensky shows Arthur how the park will get cleaned up. They show him how if only one kid joins the Cleanup Brigade, garbage in the park will continue to build up, but if he can get more kids to join, the park will eventually be cleaned. Arthur is thrilled with the idea, until they decide to give him a uniform. Arthur later finds himself in full garbage man gear and is later given a garbage can and 'pointy stick' with which to collect the garbage. Mr. Frensky explains the importance of the job to Arthur, as only together can they hope to create a world that is clean, safe, and fun to live in. He sends Arthur on his way and says he will meet him with his volunteers the next day. Only Arthur's not so sure any will be there. | He takes Arthur to see the local recycling center, where Arthur finds a massive command center for all garbage-collecting and recycling activities in [[Elwood City]].
