In the past you could burn them, now these two will cost me $5 at trash center.

Trash is a huge pet peeve for me. I pick up trash along our road at least twice a month during nicer weather. Spring cleanup is always loads of fun. Last weekend, I picked up over 3 dozen Bud Light bottles all in the same spot. The next day, I drove past that area about noon and no bottles were seen. I came home a few hours later and there were three more there. We had the same issue a few years ago and set up a trail camera. I got the guy on camera throwing the bottle out the window. Took it to the cops...including pictures of his truck with the license plate. Sheriff at that time said he couldn't do anything. So...here's a guy littering and drinking and driving and they were not interested. We followed the guy and got his address....took that to them, still couldn't do anything. Several bottles were returned to his yard one night. It stopped for a short time after that, but then started up again. He is now throwing them on the opposite end of our property. I will probably have to put the cameras back out and see if the new sheriff is willing to address the problem. We pick up tires, toilets, tv's (big item on Superbowl Sunday), fast food trash, pop/beer bottles/cans and so much more. We have had washers and dryers left in the middle of the road. We had two burn barrels full of debris left in front of the driveway. There was the freezer full of rotten meat....that was nice.
If it is tires or TV's that the county accepts at the trash recycling day, we normally take those items there. We call ahead and let them know that we have items that have been dumped throughout the year that we picked up rather than calling the highway guys out to get it as it happens, and they make a note not to charge us when we bring it to them. They have also allowed us to bring things to them to go in their dumpster if it is something that has been dumped. Their drivers have usually seen it and appreciate that we don't call them out to get it off of the road, and we go past the highway garage routinely so it is not a big hardship for us to deliver it to their dumpster.
At least we haven't had any meth labs for a few years. We have had several of those. I have been known to confront people who I see stopped on the road and ask what they are doing there. I am always happy to call the police to come and help them, but most don't seem to appreciate that. They also love when I write down their license plate numbers and vehicle description for when I make that call. Just one more reason I carry.
It should be perfectly legal to beat these morons with a bat when caught.
Hmm. I think it is. Whatta they gonna do? Call the cops and say they got their arses whooped whilst being douchebag litterbugs?
