It is an on-going problem. My husband has taken a rake and fished trash out of a nearby pond several times, and picks up trash on his daily walks. We have seen other residents doing the same. The landscapers mow right over trash and I have seen them throw mulch over plastic bottles, and assorted other trash. If it was only an occasional problem I'd say the residents can handle it, but it is a real mess in the newer areas with so much construction traffic. Not blaming anyone - the Villages needs to step in and clean up.
