I enjoyed reading this article - it reminded me of the harbour I used to live near, where on certain tides loads of rubbish would accumulate in the corner of one of the quays and someone would have to come around and scoop it out (conventionally sadly, rather than with elemental magic). It's got me thinking about how this sort of work would be carried out in my own world...
I am glad you enjoyed it, I am sorry for the typos! I'd be interested how this would work in your world. I'll have to check it out.
