Litter

Trash

We just got back from a week in Massachusetts. The trash along 95 got better in some states and was worse or about the same as here. So, it isn't just a problem here.

Connecticutt had the cleanest highways. But maybe that is because they had No littering signs posted every 1000 feet it seemed. And the fines were listed as $200 - $1000.00. I don't see any signs anywhere around here.

I noticed that the Inmates were back out picking up litter, but it doesn't do any good. Driving down Fox Road today there were McDonalds (and possibly Burger King etc) wrappers, cups, french fry containers etc. There are empty soda bottles. The mattresses on 540 near Capital Blvd. are still there. There is a pile of carpet or carpet pads on 401 near Ligon Mill.
