[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the litter blows off the recycling trucks or blows out of bins in the neighborhoods before pick-up. It accumulates in fall and winter when there is less mowing (and either pre-mowing clean-up or mowing over the trash...) It's not always from people being jerks and just dumping trash out their windows onto the road.[/quote]

In MoCO, our trash guys are actually pretty good about that.  They even sometimes send out someone behind the trash/recycling trucks to make sure it’s not a mess!  I’ve seen the lady come by in her pick up truck checking on trash cans, etc.

I wouldn’t blame the trash/recycling guys.

I live in Aspen Hill and I have straight up seen people stop at a stop light, open their car door and just toss their trash out.  McDonalds bags and DD cups.  Plus water bottles.  Water bottles everywhere.

There are plenty of people who think it’s appropriate to toss their trash out the car door/window.  [/quote]

I've seen this myself several times. Every time it's been a truck with guys going to or from a job site. It's not their neighborhood and they just don't care. I once saw a guy toss a can of paint out of the truck onto the side of the road! If you're in MoCo, call 311 to report the litter and if you can get a picture of the litter bugs, send it to the county. [/quote]
