Not to mention the stop and going of golf carts will create a safety hazard. I think trash cans would not add to the landscape.

Thanks for your effort.

I come from Long Island so to me The Villages has a very small litter problem. I just like to pick up the items I see each day.

I honestly do not think that a golf cart stopping at a trash can to drop off some trash would create a safety hazard. The dog poop is not a big problem since it is in plastic bags. As for emptying the trash cans a couple of times a day, there seems to be an abundance of residents who are looking for a part time job. There are currently plenty of residents who have a part time job around the town squares emptying trash cans. Just expand the jobs and hire a few more for the trails.

Just an idea - no need to "trash" my idea if you do not like it.

I disagree. We don't need more trash cans just more people to use the ones we have. People stopping along the cart path to throw out trash would be a safety hazard. Tie a small bag somewhere in your cart and throw it out when you reach your destination. How much trash can you generate while driving your golf cart anyway? Dog poop should never be placed in a public trash can.

Are you people serious? Litter problem? I see very, very little litter here. In fact it is very noticeable whenI do see something because it is so unusual. Of course I came here directly from Manila which is like living in a trash container, but even still, I have lived in a lot of places in this country, and the Villages is if not THE cleanest it is one of the cleanest places I've ever been.

That being said people should not be discarding cigarette packs or soda cans or anything else any place except a proper trash receptacle.

The litter I see here is so infinitesimally small compared to what I used to see in Westchester County NY, both on the local streets and the public highways. In fact, there was an elderly gentleman in my neighborhood who had apparently made it his life mission to pick up every bit of litter that he could find. We would see him slowly pacing the streets every day. winter and summer. I guess all that walking kept him healthy too, because he never missed a day.
