I’ve said it before: Alabama has a pervasive culture that appears to revel in litter. You just don’t see it other places including most of MS or GA. It’s hard to quantify but in some places I’d say close to 50 percent of the population litters with abandon. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the middle of nowhere woods, highways and city/town streets, on the beach, on the water. Trash litters and there’s trash almost everywhere you go in much of this state. Sometimes it’s corn bags. All the time it’s beer cans, swishersweet wrappers, Faygo bottles, styrofoam drink cups and takeout boxes, used tires, old recliners, fuggin diapers and used condoms in parking lots. It goes on and on. On my way into camp, recently, someone dumped a boat in the access road of a property. It’s a walkthrough runabout snatched off the trailer and left right there. Someone made that choice rather than pull it to the free landfill 7 miles away.
I worked with the US Forest Service for 32.5 yrs and the land that we managed was also used as a dumping grown, no matter what state I was in....it's pretty sad, but people just don't care....as long as they can get it away from their house.....large appliances were dumped on a regular basis down many dirt roads....
