Littering should be a capital offense!

Got so sick of all the litter around my camp, I bribed the wife and kids with DQ to help police call 3 miles of roads surrounding my property.

Surprisingly enough, no bitching or moaning from anyone.

And the consensus is - if you drink Bush Latte or Twisted Tea, there is a greater than average chance that you are a dirtbag

I walk our road ditches a couple times a year and pick up garbage. I agree with your thoughts on Busch Light. However, this year Miller High Life is a close second here. In bottles even! I’ve collected almost a case of miller bottles this year. I’m guessing it’s the same guy over and over chucking his empties on his way home.

Kooch, that seems accurate. We also found a lot of chocolate milk bottles. My kids are certain that dirtbag dad throws out the Busch, mom throws out the twisted tea and their little dirtbag kid follows suit and throws out his yahoo milk container.
 
We have 200 yards of highway road frontage on the one property. We pick up a white kitchen trash bag full of trash at least once a week. A good number of people are Fn' pathetic!
 
A while back I fished several dozen beer cans out of the bushes in front of the family's place, from two locations. Must be from the same A-hole every day as part of his daily routine. Finishes his beer about the same spot along the route every day and heaves the evidence out the window. Instead of taking them though, I just made two big piles of them roadside so he could see them when he went past. Eventually someone must have taken them all for the deposit.
 
I’m seeing many junk tv’s in the ditches lately and it’s really pissing me off!

I pull them up onto the edge of the road where everyone can see them and write SHAME on the screen with a white paint marker.
 
Not saying it's okay, but I can sort of understand why someone would do some places. Like where my property is you can only can go to this dump if you're from this town and they don't take this or that or this. And it's on the other side of the county and only open 9AM-12noon on Tuesday. Not okay, but I get it.

But at home, people dump stuff on the road side all the time. Big stuff. There's trash pick, everywhere, every house. Put it out front of your house and they will take it. Put it out front of ANYONE'S house and they will take it. Why drive it out in the middle of nowhere and dump it roadside? It makes no sense! It's MORE work!?
 
We are lucky, have a county landfill and they will take anything there and its never been more than $25 for me to take a pickup load of hatever.

We have republic for garbage and they can be a pita but they take damn near anything I put out. It makes a difference, there is always going to be dumping and losers throwing beer cans but its a lot less if they make it easy to get rid of stuff.
 
We had a guy that was slinging his cans on our place or a couple of our neighbors literally every day. One of the neighbors saw him toss his can one day, then saw him again a couple days later around the same time and found out who it was. Turns out he lived about 5 miles down the road. We cleaned up all of the cans and returned them to his front yard on a Saturday afternoon while he was there. He didn't say a word. That took care of that one guy, but we still have the occasional issue.
 
Not defending litterbugs at all - but cans & bottles don't pollute air or groundwater like industrial pollution does. No one should have to pick up trash along roadsides - voluntarily especially. Remote handshake for what you & family did! It just shouldn't need to be done at all - if folks actually took pride in the U.S.

America the Beautiful ......... right??
 
I'm a member of the local Lion's Club. We do a highway cleanup 4 times a year and get more than what the OP did each time. The biggest item I've seen was a foldup/roll away bed frame, and the scariest would deffinetly be the needles that are found.
Hard to believe the smartest animal on the planet is also the one most likely to shit where they live.
 
We have an adopt-a-highway for my kids' 4H club and it is disappointing the amount of litter thrown out of vehicles. I've never had a fireball in my life, but it appears that they are very popular based on the number of tiny shot sized bottles scattered everywhere.

I've also been behind garbage trucks on the highway and I think the majority of the plastic bags, papers, etc. aren't thrown out by drivers, but rather blow out of garbage trucks. The garbage truck companies should get fined for littering.
 
Can't think of any laws that are actively enforced anymore. Maybe that's a result of the defund the police movement? They maybe don't care so much. Just a thought

I went fishing in FL this weekend and saw a fully assembled trampoline in the median on the way home. Guess it blew out of the back of a truck or trailer.

It’s the judges. Any citation you issue, any arrest you make goes into court. The loser doesn’t show up and it’s no big deal. Then they tell the saaaaaaaaaaad story about how unfair the world treats them and how they can’t afford to pay a fine and can’t do no jail time because how would he find a job if he’s in jail…. It’s the same guy the community has had trouble with for 15 years, the same guy that is in front of the judge 3 times a year but 3rd, 4th and 5th chances are needed

And worse than that, the convictions that people got are getting undone because after all “they paid their debt to society” and he probably would have found that job (that he wasn’t actually looking for) if he didn’t have that felony “non-violent” weed “possession” conviction. They gloss over the fact that he showed up to sell an undercover 5 pounds of weed, had a pistol on him, had 200 more pounds of weed and a half kilo of coke in his house. All that gets pled down to weed “possession” and in a few years we take this “unfair nonviolent weed” conviction off his record.

It’s the judges.
