I live in a lake community and walk my two dogs ( G, Shepherd and a Husky) every night rain or shine or dark. One of my paths has sloped woods on one side where a bear dragged someone’s garbage across to the woods to sift through for grub. It’s been a month and nobody has touched the trash- there it sits in full view of several homes. I believe it came from a house where there’s junk wall over the yard so I think it’s from their garbage, and if they keep their yard sloppy why would they clean garbage across the street in the woods. I really should call our community public safety to have them knock on their door and tell them to clean it up or get a fine. If I lived on the street I’d complain to P. S. Then if in a week it isn’t gone I’d clean it up myself. I’ve had a bear spread out my trash and I cleaned it up on the spot. I don’t like home organizations but you need them to go after the trailer trash types when they get out of line. It’s not the bears fault
When the out of towners come they throw beer boxes and empty cans and bags of fast food garbage out the car window onto the main roads. Their usually folks from NYC
It doesn't matter where one lives there's the places where folks just don't have any pride in there home's property.
I think it has always been that way.
It's like a piece of litter sitting in a park, 1 becomes 2 and so on.
In my little hamlet there's a few that just don't have any pride period.
Lived here for 10 yrs and in that time one place has had 4 clean up citations for the property.
We are taking about a little house, tarp on the roof, little shed (that actually sits over the lot line on somebody else's property.)
Yet I have seen twice a full dump truck loads of garbage been taken from the front yard.
The other clean ups has been 12ft box trailer loads, many pick up loads.
It's like a mold that just keeps growing-no matter what it can't be controlled.
Lazy, no pride, house was obtained from parents that moved away-so basically nothing invested into the home.
I still remember the other neighbour grumbling about the first big clean up. He was worried his property taxes would go up because the neighbour cleaned up his front yard.

3 yrs ago 8 homes got the clean up notices-the township cleaned up one, filling a 40 yrd container, and a tow truck for the autos. This was a lot, not even a 1/3 acre in size.
