      It's not laziness. I grew up in an area where dumping like this happened. It was pretty much just poverty and the fact that people couldn't afford to pay for garbage service. When the choice is between paying for garbage service and your children having food and diapers, most people will just choose to dump. Garbage service should be free for all, otherwise we will always face this sort of dumping behavior.

      Same here. I do what I can around here. But being disabled makes it hard. Truly wish I could do more. If everyone could just pick up 5 pieces of a trash a day, it would make a huge difference. But people are either too lazy, don't care or don't think it's their problem. And it's really sad. We cleaned up by the riverfront and playground the other day. Someone asked me why. Asked them what looked better. Trash everywhere or cleaned up. They walked awa6

Maybe the neighbors will keep it up after this. I was disappointed in the neighbor that came to see what you were doing, I fully expected him to ask what he could do to help. I love that the other neighbor said you could throw stuff in the dumpster he was getting. That was really nice Thank you for cleaning that all up, you are appreciated by us if nothing else lol.

No one else has done the level of work you have done since you started. I watch a number of other people that do yardwork and they don’t even pick up the trash.

When we find black soil, that someone is about to haul off to a landfill, we take it home for planting in our gardens. Best soil around. I actually have some in my yard, under my big tree, where there is also tons of worms. I discovered the black soil, just after I bought this house, while edging my driveway. I'm going to just plant flowers there because taking up too much would start showing the tree feeder roots. Have a blessed day 😊

    I would like to point out that some (not all) of the trash is a direct result of cities going to a one man trash service using a one arm bandit and the driver never leaves his seat and what doesn't make it into the truck is at the mercy of the wind, neighborhoods with vacant lots don't get picked up and the trash accumulates. The beauty of what Sean, (or anyone else...hint, hint) does is it makes people think twice before throwing something out of their car window, it's human nature unfortunately that if someone sees a trashed out area they have no qualms about throwing their trash out the window.
