Unhappy Walkers and litter!

I own a corner lot and my yard is littered with cigarette butts, used tissue, and candy wrappers! Most dog walkers clean up after their dogs but why do others think they can throw anything in someone else’s yard? The people that live along the sidewalk on Moyer Loop have more problems! When I moved here 3 years ago I was impressed with the cleanliness of TV. What is happening?

The Newbies are bringing their nasty habits with them.
One of the things wife and I have noticed over the last 4-5 years is the increase in litter.
'twas never so!

Because it's so easy and comes natural to them.

live on a corner with storm drain. any time a neighbor has work done the service provider parks by my home. workers throw trash in street. they pour paint,liquid waste down the storm drain. the worst offenders are the mystery trucks with no identifying info except license plates.i walk my dog around around my property so i see a lot.

And it all ends up in a pond.

The snowbirds are staying here longer..

And it’s probably the same filthy pigs 🐖 I’ve railed about dumping trash along the MMP’s.

the butts are not from TV residents

some of the litter is from vendors without question

the rest of the stuff is from jerks that did the very same thing where they came from

they don't give a damn and never will....thankfully they are few and far between

More people - more litter. The generation behind us were sit in the corner (sometimes) instead of getting a swat on their butts.

Call Community Watch immediately when you see it. They will be out quickly to confront the offenders. This is illegal. If I saw someone throwing butts I'd approach and ask if the yard looks like an ashtray--and they should please use their vehicle. That littering is also against the law--police need to be called. If you don't report it nothing will be done and it will continue.

I notice it all the time and have to pick up butts;it isn't the dog walkers but the regular walkers and people throwing cigerets out the car windows;I caught house cleaning people do it and talked to them about it;they said they were sorry;if you smoke don't litter;also mowers...
