Most of the stuff disappears when the maintenance crews mow the areas next to the paths; I don't know if they actually pick the litter up or if it just gets pulverized by the mower blades. But in any case, The Villages is a beautiful place. I would think that the pride alone in being able to live in such surroundings would motivate people not to litter.

I've seen the people operating the mowers pick up the trash.
