Debris that just won't stay cleaned

Has anyone gotten donuts from this reappearing garbage when using Homer to clean? For me, I've only gotten the occasional donut when Lisa is cleaning, never from Homer. Is this just a coincidence?

I have gotten donuts from both. I usually use Lisa because she is then easy to task to a nearby tree for reading while I visit friends. However, I had her running around doing the Thanksgiving tasks and switched to Homer. He, too, delivered, at about the same rate.

Like level jamming, which I also do, this is a slow and laborious way to earn donuts. But, if you're just watching the game or completely bored, you can eventually earn yourself a Frick's Lab or whatever niftiness will come our way with the next update.

Here's what I do when I'm jamming the trash for donuts:

1. Have Lisa/Homer clean it, tap the completion icon, check for donut.
2. No donut? Immediately hit the Visit Friend icon - don't bother picking anything up. As soon as it hits the ground, it will be added to your tally when you re-enter your SF, whether it is showing up right now or not (technically, this is true for donuts as well, but I don't take chances - those, I pick up. :) )
3. In the Visit Friends screen, immediately it the Home button. Lisa (or Homer) will still be close enough to the now-respawned trash pile to do it again.
4. Repeat until you are so bored you don't care about donuts. :D

As a side note, this also generates a surprising amount of cash. Even at the 17% bonus I had for most of levels 25-34, jamming the garbage pile was still the most profitable thing to do to get quick cash.
