Had it happen at one of my gates. County offered zero help in cleaning it up even though it was half ROW and private drive. 17 contractor bags, three fully loaded trailers full of chairs, furniture and other items going to the county dump on my dime and it was cleaned up. County said it was at epidemic levels, year around, county wide.

A load was dumped in a drainage ditch a few years ago. Table couch several bags of junk a mattress. When the county was call about it. Inmates and a couple truck picked it up. The bag was checked and an envelope with name and address was found. Cost them a clean up fee. and epa sent a few letter about contamination to the area. Terrible what folks will do.

I was fishing one night for stripe under the Hwy72 bridge that crosses the Elk River. We heard what I guess was a truck stop on the bridge and then out of nowhere a refrigerator landed in the river about 50’ from us. Scared the crap out of us. We still talk about that just about every time we fish together.

Someone dumped a full size sectional couch on the side of the paved road about two weeks ago. Me and my buddy will clean it up if I ever get off of OT. Take it to my burn pit.

Take it to my burn pit. once upon a long time ago I had some pretty nasty furniture that survived my college years. Didn't really know what to do with it- couches, recliners, tables and chairs missing legs and overall in a sorry state. Didnt wanna be the jerk who dumped on a county road somewhere. SO Built a massive fire in the front yard and burned it all. Biggest most massive fire I have ever seen. could feel the heat from a very long way away. The type of fire that'll make you nervous...I was like 23 years old and really dumb. Did not have a contingency plan. Couldve burned the entirety of Livingston proper if it had gotten out of hand. In them days, I spent alot of time outside my head....didn't really have the capacity for rational thought, and to be honest I was pretty drunk like all the time, so I threw a few boxes in there thinking they were trash....looking back on it now I am certain one of them boxes had the paper copy of my degree in it, a birth certificate, significant amount of money in cash, and some other pretty important documentation....Them was my dumb arse years

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. Spot on. It’s a big problem in this state.

I’m about to start my weekly trash pickup along my road. SOBs have no respect for themselves or anyone else. There is a trash can at every gas pump. Sorry as hell

Sometimes....most days I just stare off into space and enjoy the peace and quiet in the stand, drink my coffee, disassociate and scream at the palmettoes(I know they're all together planning something), and enjoy the wildlife...you know, typical nature lover stuff

We'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road Am from Newnan, GA. you did not dump trash on Thigpen Road, The trash dump was located on Thigpen Road, thus you dumped trash off of Thigpen Road, not on Thigpen Road.

While hunting I was sitting on the ground against a power pole in a kudzu patch right next to a road on our lease. A truck drove by very slowly looking all around. They got out about 20 yards from me and started dumping trash. I asked them how their day was going and they got back in the truck and left. I found it quite amusing.
