The Garbage City

My city is considered “The Garden City”. Regrettably for as long as I can remember -- the more appropriate name is “The Garbage City”.

I will do a future post on garbage on city streets and sidewalks, however today I will focus on a small little wooded area that is popular for young people to drink at nights and for people dumping garbage.

This is just one area. There are plenty of parks and secluded wooded areas in similar condition.
You should also note that this is mid-summer after a mild and snowless winter. Garbage is worse after a harsh winter buries everything.

I clean the garbage around my house daily…After one week it is almost a bag worth of garbage.

Age doesn’t seem to matter. Older people will dump larger items in wooded areas (though in credit to most -- they usually dump in dumpsters); while younger people will toss or drop garbage where ever they see fit.
