Your property taxes are paid to Sumter or whichever county that is encompassed in The Villages area. Other than the private streets, each county maintains road sides/ditches. That amenity fee you pay every month is not “hefty” enough to meticulously maintain the multimodal paths if the residents don’t care enough to toss and get rid of their own trash. It’s that simple, pony up the cash for that level of maintenance or chip in here and there by picking up a piece or two when you see it.
