So much trash dumping in MoCo. What is wrong with MoCo residents?

If you want to live in an area with fewer people, move further out.
But I suspect you don't want to do that.

It's a little phenomenon called urbanization.

What load of horsesh!t.

I've been to cities like Tokyo, which is some of the densest ubanization in the world. No one dumps trash anywhere. It is pristine. It is something toxic and very low class mindset of the people in MoCo now. Just pure degeneracy.

Lol, blaming it on urban lifestyle. You're clueless.

+1…. This is not a matter of dense urbanization. This a matter of who is being densely urbanized.

It's multiple matrsses now. Virtually in the same spot. It's clearly dumping. And it keeps happening. It's too routine now for it to be an "accident".

so think about the root of it. Probably either a moving company or one of those mattress deliveries that take your old mattress away. Except they don't want to dispose of the old mattress so they instruct the drivers to dump. Pretty easy to do a sting operation.

I live in Burtonsville and none of us have trash pick up, we have to pay privately.

I've never lived in a place with private contractors for trash pickup. I'm sure a lot of people try to save money and just dump their trash where ever.

Most places I have lived have had municipal trash pickup that is mandatory and you get a bill from the city every month.

To the dense urbanization PP. MoCo is the suburbs. I’ve been to the suburbs of Denver, Boston, and Minneapolis and they aren’t trashy like this.

Bulk trash pickup is definitely not free in Montgomery County for people who live in multi-family dwellings. Multi-family dwellings have to contract with private companies for trash pickup — including bulk trash. In my case, in a condo, I pay state and local taxes, property taxes, and condo fees — and still would have to pay additional fees for any bulk trash pickup. “Bulk” in my case includes anything other than flattened boxes, recyclables and bagged household trash with size limits. Many older electronics and children’s toys, for example, can’t be discarded without paying fees and arranging for pickups.

My old apartment had dumpsters — which was great.

People also don't pick up their dog's poop. I do it for them because I hate looking at it and at empty Taco Bell bags and wrappers chucked out the window. I miss it when people thought littering was unacceptable.

I think you and others in this thread are being incredibly intolerant. At the OP correctly pointed out, our communities are welcoming havens for people of many cultural backgrounds; this is what makes our communities so rich and vibrant.

For you (and others) to impose your westernized expectations on others is incredibly culturally-insensitive.

Excuse me? I’m intolerant for picking up garbage almost daily because I don’t want to live in a trash dump?

I hope you’re joking. And you know what else, some cultural norms are BETTER than others. There, I said it.

I for one love the “westernized expectations” of cleanliness. As someone who moved out of one of those dirty third country ghettos, I appreciate clean streets and picked up trash. I hope all of my other rich and vibrant fellow immigrants to adopt this westernized, cultural norm of cleanliness.
What’s really funny to me is that some of you tolerant folks don’t think us immigrants are smart enough or cultured enough to learn to pick up after ourselves.

Lots of trash on Seven Locks Road

What is with MoCo recently? The grass around tons and tons of medians is absolutely OUT OF CONTROL. Is the county even cutting grass anymore? I've seen areas where the grass is so high now it is almost as high as the stop sign.
