We just returned from an RV camping trip across Texas. Went from Palestine to Concan to Big Bend NP, then back. A lot of miles. Needless to say with five of us in the truck and three being female we had to make a lot of pit stops.
During this period of travel (some on US-67, US-84, US-90, and I-10), we noticed multiple individuals stopping to drop off their deer lease trash at the roadside parks/rest areas. In almost every case we were stopped, someone would show up in camo, with his 4-wheeler on trailer, ice chests, and hunting apparatus...(yes, I was "profiling") This person would then unload all their trash, filling up one or both cans at the roadside park or rest area. Many times they left empty deer corn sacks full of trash.
It's really none of my business and I'm sure they are taxpayers just like the rest of us.
What do you think about it?

I would rather see that than the trash scattered all over our state. I have been guilty of doing this a time or 2 but I typically try to trash it at when I get home.

I would feel guilty for filling all the cans, but I do help pay for those cans and would not hesitate to use them if I needed to dump my trash.

Sounds like the cans are outdated and not adequate... let's contract out a dumpster to the lowest bidder please!
Wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could.

You have no problem using the trash cans at road sideparks. How about when the cans are full. You leave your trash on the side of the cans. So every varmint can scatter the trash at night. That's the problem

Would it really hurt to continue on home and put the trash with your household trash? Seems like more of a effort to pull over at a rest stop and leave just the trash.

Never figured that one out. If you have it in the truck just take it home. Another thing that gives hunters a bad rap by the general public.

I wouldn't leave my trash unless it went in the can. Thanks. I think that's a good move. I know that when we stop and the cans are overflowing, we just take our trash with us to the next available receptacle.

It is surprising to me that many counties or even the state do not put larger receptacles in hunting areas. It is not like the same areas have not had this problem for years.

It is surprising to me that many counties or even the state do not put larger receptacles in hunting areas. It is not like the same areas have not had this problem for years. There have been some counties that removed some of the roadside parks because of the trash. 3 that I know of in Runnels county, having to have crews go out on an almost daily basis to pick u trash was the reason. One north of Ballinger, one between Ballinger and Rowena and another south of Miles. The inconsiderate slobs drove though town and filled up the road side barrels instead of dumping at the convenience store when the gassed up. But then a lot of the inconsiderate slobs let their trash blow out before they get to a dump site, we can always tell when hunting season starts, the corn sacks beer boxes, the soft drink boxes etc., are in the bar ditch by our place.

Feed bags and several bags of lease trash are clearly not what the roadside trash cans are for. Haul your trash off. Or do like the crappy hunters down the road from my place do. Just throw if over the cliff onto my place, I am going to catch them lazy pieces of trash someday.

Filling rest stop trash cans with trash from the lease is the wrong thing to do. That's not what those trash cans are intended to be used for. You've already got it in the back of the truck, so just lug it all the way home.

What about the couches and old stained mattresses?

The practice beats what some East Texas hunters do when they just leave the empty corn bags in the bed of their truck so the wind can blow them out once they head down the highway.

You've already got it in the back of the truck, so just lug it all the way home. I agree with you completely. However, such hunters don't want to inconvenience themselves at home and would rather inconvenience other folks who might actually like to enjoy the roadside stop.

Carry it home.... Parks and small towns along your route are not your personal dump. Just because someone else does it, doesn't make it right.

I carry mine home or burn it at the lease but.... trash is trash. Why are the trash cans there to begin with? Why does one person have the right to use them and others don't? Why don't all travelers carry their trash home? Just sayin

Have never done it & never will. That is not what those cans are for and they will give you a ticket if they see you.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

The way I see it, the cans are at rest areas for travelers to use as a courtesy of the state and attempt to keep litter from the road, not as a primary dump off for people that live near-by, or in general. Certianly not big enough for bags of trash.
