What you don't see out west is trash along some of the most beautiful stretches of creeks and rivers like you see here. It is different out there I promise.

Sure you do. You just have to look closer. It's easy not to see the plastic waste when things are lush and green. Go in fall or winter before snowfall when there's no leaves on the brush. You'll find plastic everywhere. And cigarette butts. I've never been to a place where I cannot fine a cigarette butt.

Yeah, we have that around here as well. It is sad and those people could care less about littering when they are fighting for survival. But it still disgusts me when I see it.

You are right, it's because they (the homeless) want to be close to the free money/free benefits that the cities provide . . . Which is fine with me.

A cig butt is a lot different than a bag of diapers or a couch.

Trash is trash. The world is not your ashtray.

Moss, I understand where you are coming from, I use to smoke (camel straights) for many years . . . years ago ashtrays were full and pretty much most people smoked . . . heck they gave us cigarettes in our rations When did they stop putting cigarettes in C rations? – Restaurantnorman.com. I hate them too my one son (44) smokes like a chimney, and when he has been at our place I find them (butts) I hate it.

I wonder what soldiers played low stakes poker with after the cigs went away with MREs? As a non-smoker, I always had tubular currency in every meal.

No different here in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin. Every spring the county has a roadside cleanup day, but nobody comes out here in the hollow. I always try to spend the day taking care of my 1,000ft of roadside and manage most years to fill a big garbage bag of beer cans & bottles, plastic bottles, fast food containers and household trash. (I'm only 5miles from the landfill) Not counting the big stuff: broken ladder, wiring harness with starter motor attached, along with a roll of rusty barbed wire, one muffler and two computers with old CRT monitors. Had to pay the recycling center $15 each to take the monitors

That's why people are dumping them on you, instead. The worst I've ever seen was on a side road near the landfill in Milford ME; a 1/4 mile on each side of the road was lined with a steady mound of trash. Apparently people would back up to the end of the row and unload their pickup.
