I don't feel like I'm entitled where it's below me to do it.
Note to kc - If you read the last sentence of the OP's post, I believe they indicated that they do pick up the trash and wonder why they have to!

"In riding around in the golf cart lately, I've noticed a real increase in the amount of trash on the grounds throughout TV. Coffee cups, plastic bottles and even fast food bags strewn here and there on the carts paths as well as the regular roads. Constant storms this week have also added to the messy look with lot's of tree debris and plant remnants. I know the crews work hard to try to keep those items cleaned up, but it looks like a losing battle.

"I do stop and pick up things on the paths when I see them, but why should I have too."
