Will do.

....
However, ironically enough, and this is a FACT, you can be in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road miles from ANYWHERE in Idaho or Montana (let alone the east coast) and you will find litter in places you just scratch you head over. People kind of ruin it for some reason.

It's sad to say, but I have never been anywhere where I haven't found a cigarette butt.

 

[ultrarunner]

Overnight we average about 40 cigarette butts per acre of parking lot at work... less if the weather is bad.

Typical is about 15 gallon loose pack trash bag each morning of fast food paper, diapers, butts, and empty liquor bottles... Mexican beer bottles are the most common.

Sad because there are plenty of convenient trash receptacles... yet I swear some simply clean out their car and use the parking lot for a trash can.

Weekly things like abandoned cars, tires, appliances and furniture show up...

The only difficult items are liquids like used motor oil, paint and pesticides.

I do have to say my HOA is pretty good going after dumpers and hauling away debris... on my dead end street the neighbors passed a hat and each put in $100 and we installed several cameras and signage... I have a 20' pole on my property line with two cameras, antenna and solar panel... looks impressive and done by a former neighbor up the street who had a security company... not a single person did not voluntarily contribute!

I expect that in cities.

I dont expect it 1/4 mile into a cave, or at the bottom of a canyon, or on a nice beach, or on part of the Appalachian trial, etc... but there they are, cigarette butts.

I've caught dumpers and the best I could do was take down the license plate... there is a stretch of rural back road with a small creek and a favorite place for people to dump at night... mostly into the creek.

I have a creek running through the family property and over the years have hauled out a lot of junk... tires and appliances are popular... :-(

Amazing isnt it? We have about 275 yds of road frontage and do two cleanups a year, average probably 4-5 contractor bags full.
Scum.

I can see popular "touron" spots, but I just remember some BFE steep creek in Idaho we were scouting to run that really was in the middle of no where to get to. What did we find? Beer bottles, trash and a former campfire. Had to be locals having a party (it hit me at that time that people out west aren't that different than people from the east). I get the party in the woods, I don't get leaving all your crap behind for others to find.

Litter generally seems to be the lowest priority which I believe is wrong.

I was on a Sheriff ride along and said to the officer... did you just see what I saw... a person tossing a fast food soda cup out the window... he said yes and pulled the car over.

He issued a citation and said I might have to appear as a witness... said no problem.

Not much money in it for the departments so he was an exception... local born and raised and litter was his pet peeve.

I have never been to Singapore but I understand it is extremely clean...

Some idiot once placed jugs of used motor oil in my dumpster, then for fun he "shot putted" his old car batteries into the dumpster. The second battery landed on the first, cracking it case and breaking open some oil jugs. Oozing out of the bottom of the dumpster was a combination of battery acid and used motor oil.

I had video surveillance and gave it to the Sheriff. Turns out the vehicle was the fathers's-- it was the 30 year old son who did the nasty deed. Sheriff showed up at the vehicle registration address, and learned it wasn't dad but was the son. Who also had an outstanding warrant. So he went to jail (ha ha) and I filled out a complaint asking for damages. About six months later I got a check for $400 for the cleanup, which consisted of buying some cat litter and my labor to get it all off the ground. I hope that idiot learned a lesson.

Warms my heart... really!

I have to keep dumpsters locked and enclosure locked too...

The worst I have was coming to work and finding both my 6 yard trash and 4 yard recycling full of broken Concrete Driveway...

It took me and a helper a day to unload the dumpsters and load into my trailer and make several dump runs... plus tipping fees.

The 4 yard is on wheels and the weight flattened the wheels... the 6 yard is simply on the ground.
