Trash in my driveway makes me so mad!!!! mini rant

[Kathryn4629]

Ok, so I live in a semi rural area that is on the "back road to the dump" that people take to avoid tying stuff down. To it so happens I was coming back from the dump today and there is three huge branches laying in the middle of the driveway and a fast food bag of garbage!!

This makes me sooooo mad!!!! I only have to drive three miles, and I still secure my load of garbage, I wouldn't want to have it fall out in someone else's driveway, or field.
Last week I woke up to three bags of garbage that someone had obviously backed there truck up and dumped in the driveway, complete with dumping out there cigarette ash tray on the ground.

So I am headed back out to go pick up someone else's garbage, grrrrrrrr.

Report the big bags... They always have a name in them somewhere to tell who needs the littering ticket.

County put a "no littering" sign right before my house.... I have found beer cans in the yard ever sense.

I'd be pretty peeved too, I hate picking up others garbage.

Yeah people walk through the woods on the back of our property and they dump and dump things the dump won't except down the hill behind our house. I'm so mad most the time! Its stuff like mattresses, broken tv's, tires! I want to go to the dump and make them pay to have it moved since they don't give people an option to bring it anywhere else. They destroy the property we are working so hard to turn into a natural animal habitat.

I would complain if you could!!!

At least their not dumping pet's. My mom use to live on a dead end road and people would dump their animals all the time, it was pretty sad.

Yes, at least its not pets. Although there is a large feral cat population. I am thinking about trapping them and having them spayed/neutered, since the county will pay for the cost if you will release them after. I dont care if they are here, they dont mess with anything. Except the mice, but that is ok.

I like that idea, there has to be some sort of name in the bags. Yet I really dont want to dig through the garbage, yuck! I have been thinking about putting a sign out, but I am so mad about it I am thinking a great big middle finger (I am an artist so I could make it look really life like) with the words "a message to litterers" beneath it. Somehow I dont think the county would like it very much.

We had one of those big dumpsters in our driveway while we remodled. Some one came and dumped a ton of stuff in it. We went through it, got a name and address, and called the cops. The cop told us we could have them arrested for trespassing but we just had them come back and get ALL of it out of the dumpster.

Our community has gotten together on this type of matter. People from nearby towns dump their CRAP up and down along the road leading into our valley...mattresses, tv's, sofas, etc..$1000 reward for any info leading to the arrest...
Believe you me...when I see a vehicle/truck on the side of the road that looks "suspect", I note the plate #!
