While I do not agree that "pig sty" meets the strewn trash situation described by whatever, I do agree with whatever that it is becoming a problem.
I have lived here for six years and more than ever I see bottles, cans paper cast along side of cartpaths,in tunnels and along roadways.
Again we have disagreement among our residents and I believe the reason can be identified with one word "expectation".
I personally would expect The Villages to be free of litter because of its residents, its workers and its reputation. So often I wonder who the indivdual was that threw that empty can or bottle out of their cart or their paper cup, and if it was accidental why didn't they go back and pick it up? Yes, it could be the item left the cart unnoticed but given the amount I am seeing it doesn't account for all of iit and frankly I lean toward hardly any of it. Irrespective of noticed or unnoticed he fat remains its lying on the ground and not in a trash bin.
I would like/hate to think that the cause is outsiders who show little respect for our community. But clearly in most situations whomever the culprits, it could also be residents, appear to have little respect for themselves and so why show any toward a community.
Perhaps it is time for the CDD SLCDD to initiate a "litter free" campaign before the situation worsens?
