Littering on roadside a trashy thing to do

TO THE EDITOR:

I know I speak for many regarding trash on the roadside.

My wife and I donned our disposable rubber gloves and picked up Christmas wrappings, gift boxes, soda cans, empty cigarette packs, etc., along the sides of Wilson Road a week after Christmas. A neighbor and her children picked up trash on Wilson Road just the week before.

I don?t know if the fact the trash dump was closed extra days because of the holidays caused part of this problem, but I seriously doubt it since it is still happening. These people could do like the rest of us and save the trash until the dump is open.

Several days before, there were several plastic sacks of trash by Charles Creek Bridge that seemed to have been torn into by animals.

What is really the trash ? what is dumped or the dumper?

We don?t mind doing our share of work to help keep the roadside clean, but when someone just tosses trash out the windows, from the back of a pickup, or the trunk of a car, it just boils my blood.
