This is one of the interesting things here, a lot of people still do not think throwing out their garbage on their lot is wrong (back a hundred years ago everyone did it....)We are on a city lot that has decades of houshold garbage (not a hundred years ago stuff, but plastic Walmart bag era stuff). Most of the neighbors use curbside pickup (we are in town) but the previous owner did not. Parts of our lot are now 1/2 - one foot higher than when the lot was fenced.
I have been involved in quite a few cleanups since moving here, every thing from an illegal lava tube dump near the ocean to coastal cleanups of parks. Used to be involved in cleanup on the mainland. The trashing of the land happens both places, it just seems worse here, probably the knowledge of the fragility of this place makes it seem so wasteful.
