I was brought up to leave places better than they were when you visited them. We raised our kids the same way, when we go to the beach, hiking, or just for a walk around the neighborhood, we pick up trash. The amount of crap that gets thrown out on the roadways here is disgusting, leave the trash in your vehicle until you get gas and then empty it into their cans. Today I was behind a pickup truck that had trash blowing out of the back for 10 miles. When we came to a 4 way stop I signaled the driver, he rolled his window down and I told him about the water bottles, what a burger bags and the 12 pack container for Mich Ultra that had blown out. He said “ who cares “

If you litter, you are a Scumbag of the highest level. Clean up after yourselves, and stop throwing trash in the back of your truck to be blown out on the road.

Vent over, have a good night soap

I'm old enough to remember what the sides of the highways looked like in the early 1960's. Basically a long linear trash pile garbage dump. It was perfectly acceptable to just throw your hamburger bags,drink cups,beer cans out your car window. Everybody did it. Then a massive anti-littering campaign was started,led by celebrities like Carol Burnett (and the indian guy with a tear running down his face). It was a success but there is still the occasional jackazz scofflaw who thinks the rules don't apply to him.

Oh how I agree with you. Makes me sick how much people throw trash on the ground. We take the dog on a walk almost nightly and there is a basketball court up by the park where water and Gatorade bottles litter the ground always. The other day the high schoolers had just finished playing and we’re up under the pavilion a couple hundred feet from the court. I picked up as many as I could carry (at least 8) and dumped them into the trash can right next to them. They saw me picking them up. When I got up next to them I said...”can you believe people just throw their trash on the ground when there is a trash can right here?” Nobody said a word, but I know it was theirs because the water was still cold in one of them and they had a big cooler with them.

Now for the kicker... one of their dads had just pulled up to pick up his boy and he also saw me picking up all their trash. He had got out of his truck and walked up to the group as I was throwing everything in the can. I said it loud enough to where I made sure he heard me as well and you guessed it... he didn’t say a word.

My dad would have been all over me and my friends making us pick up every bit of trash up there if that had been me.

Yeah, you really hit a nerve with me. Can’t stand that crap!

Hollywood took a little "peotic license" but that's beside the point.

Was at McDonald’s just the other day. Kid, had to be at least 16 tosses his cup. I’m fighting with wife so I’m already mad, but I stick my head out the window, and yell, you gonna pick up you’re trash. He shakes his head but reluctantly picks up his garbage. Might have been looking for one, but he shakes his head and picks it up. I thank him, and he thanks me for keeping him accountable. All in all it was a good interaction.

I hate over-regulation, but too many people don't secure their loads properly in pickup truck beds and on utility trailers. Drive through Colorado sometime. The roadways are nearly void of litter and debris.
Whatever they are doing up there would probably serve the Lone Star State well.

This time of year is especially bad In our area. Corn and protein sacks that blow out of pickups, and empty beer cans dropped in the gate entrances with the occasional deuce complete with whatever they wiped with. It will be over soon thankfully. It is a shame how there are so many irresponsible people giving the good ones a bad rap.

I agree completely, and I have to be honest, hunters aren't in the least bit immune. Hate seeing corn bags strewn through the ditches.

Smokers are the worst! They think the world is their ashtray! If it's so nasty that you don't want it in your car why would you want it in your mouth!?

No more than 20 minutes ago I picked up a bag of deer hunters trash and several corn sacks out of the county road in front of my driveway. Something I do several times a year. I know he saw it blow out but he doesn't live there, why should he stop. Pisses me off. Secure your trash people, and if it does blow out stop and pick it up.

From a few weeks before dove season to around a week or two after deer season the rural roadside trash increases massively, every year.

'Hunters' may leave a lot of their money in rural areas, they also leave their trash, or toss it out the window or allow it to conveniently blow out...
Contain your trash, strap or tie it down, really is simple.

This, its not that hard.

A little side story-

A few years ago during hunting season we had a new pumper checking wells on the place. I would find toilet paper and empty paper coffee cups and the other item in the gate more than once a week. I lit into that pumper real good, since I was sure it was him. About a week later I found out I was wrong when the pumper brought a guy hunting the property about 3/4 mile down the road up to the house to let me know he found the real litter bug. I bought the pumper his lunch that day, apologized to him, and needless to say, there is no more litter from that guy.

The causeway into Galveston is terrible inbound and outbound, all that trash eventually ends up in the water. People need to be better, and unfortunately there’s no way for enforcement unless the police actually see it happen.
