Covert dumping issues

Beats illegal dumping, by a damn sight.

I spend a lot of time in the country/woods/riverbanks, and it never ceases to piss me off when I come across a site where some jerk was to lazy/cheap to dump his shit somewhere legal/intended for such.

Any construction site would probably let you do a one time dumpster deposit. If'n ya ask nice like.

I agree, but government has to make it relatively easy to do legally. Around here, you have to pay $10 to have an old CRT television picked up for trash. Seems perfectly reasonable to me. That not a lot of money, but a lot of people just dump them anyway. That pisses me off.

Downtown, there are very few public restrooms, so the homeless piss on the sidewalks. Every morning, the businesses are out there with hoses, cleaning it up. I don't blame the homeless as much as I blame the government for not offering restrooms. I don't know where they go to take a shit. I don't see any shit on the sidewalks. A guy's gotta go to the bathroom, whether you make one available or not.

Just got back from the land fill and it was quite an adventure. I got weighed and as I did not have a yellow safety vest was issued a loaner. I was told to follow the road up the hill and look for where there was a lot of dumped concrete. The term "land fill" is a bit of a misnomer as it is more like "build a mountain out of trash and grow grass on it"

I motored up amongst the big boys in their Waste Management dump trucks of all kinds. Found a spot and dumped out all of my boxes.

Snapped this picture of my vehicle on Trash Mountain as a souvenir!
