This sounds like an old dump. I was raised in a small town and we had a dump. When the laws came about the town just covered it.

Nope. This was virgin land before they bought it. They were in their 90s when they sold it. Their daughters (all late 60s) said their dad had all kinds of junk and they really tried to insist on having it cleared away. But the grass and weeds were overgrown and we didnt really see much besides BIG stuff like old tillers and broken round bale holders...you know....stuff you could hook up to a tractor to haul off. We had no clue they meant all the little stuff. And the trash isnt just in the fields. It's also in the deep woods. I'm telling you...this couple never exerted the energy to carry anything back to the house and into a trash can.

Yeah that is how us older folks did things. Sorry you have to clean up so much.

The land we leased for hunting in Mississippi had no trash pickup. The owner had an excavator and would just dig a hole and throw in trash, garbage, old business confidential files, whatever (I made it a point not to look too close.) When it started getting full he would cover it and dig a new hole.
It should make an interesting archaeological dig in a couple hundred years.

There is a section of our land that belonged to a farmer some time ago. There are rolls of wire fencing, an old stove, the bed of an old truck, and gobs of broken bottles and trash. SMH.

Us too! We've been here 5 years and I can still go out and pick up a handful of tiny pieces of glass after every rain. Former owner used to burn trash (apparently anywhere and everywhere) so little bits of melted stuff turn up all the time. Then there were the tenants that lived here just before us... the kitchen is on the 2nd story and has a little porch directly off of it. They would just open the door and toss down beer cans. We had a MOUNTAIN of been cans (and several dump trailers full of other garbage) to haul away when we moved in.
Its a multi-year process cleaning up after people like that.

This is my husband. Doesn't matter if he's been spending time with me talking with me in the room. As soon as he's out of the room, click! I'm in the dark.

Think he might be messing with ya lol

Our county doesn't seem to have a landfill. So that's what people do with stuff the trash company won't pick up. Like busted beds, old computers and tvs, broken couches and chairs.

He does that on a regular basis but not in this case.
