Default More litterers

Have you noticed recently the amount of litter on Buena Vista? What's wrong with people to have so little concern for this place. I know, someone's probably mad, entirely without principle or of poor character to do this. It's a shame. You could see it was done purposely by how it was scattered down the road, thrown from the car.

BV is a long street so the location tells us nothing about where this was a problem. I can tell you this for sure: littering is very common around construction sites, and a lot of trash gets carried around in the back of pickup trucks.
Unless it's in certain phases of a build requiring a dumpster, there is no garbage can.

yes, I know wicked Villagers do litter, but they also lose things that bump off or blow out of their carts. (LOL, I heard a story about a guy chasing his cantaloupe down the hill near the Brownwood market...)

The area I saw was south of El Camino Real. It went for about 1/2 mile but it's probably picked up by now.

Default Garbage trucks?

I have personally followed garbage trucks that seem to blow more litter out of the top than they seem to be picking up. That may be our problem and not the residents or workers.

Do you think it was stuff thrown deliberately from someone perhaps outside of our area?

I hope it wasn't.

One of the TOP reasons I love this place is how beautifully clean it is kept.

Seventeen miles of clean and neat and trimmed and flowered and beautiful.

Someone "tossed" a vodka bottle on the cart path at the underpass by 466a (obviously it was from a cart) a few weeks ago when I was there. The second day I was ready and swooped it up on my way by. We should all try and keep the area picked up. Some people don't think of what they are doing and how it impacts us all.

There is definitely a "lower class" of people in the area.

I saw a guy chasing his beer on Odell.

I noticed a tremendous amount of litter in the driveway/street going into Sweetbay (Sumter Landing) the other day, right in front of the Financial building there.

We saw a man cleaning out his glove box and throwing the trash on the roads while driving. I don't think he was a Villager, maybe a worker in the area. So sad!

Lower than the normal type of people that live in the Villages. The normal
type appreciate how nice and clean the Villages happen to be.
I won't say what I was gonna say, cause I would get a warning
from the mods.
