State Forest where we hold our dirt bike enduro's and trail rides. The state really went up on the dumping fee's at the dumps in CT, so the people rather than pay the fee's, ride thru the state forest or anywhere out of the way and toss their stuff out. Each year we find more and more junk back there. This is some of this years collection.... Hard to believe people can be this careless.

Everyone brings their trucks and we each take a load away to the local dump. We rented a dumpster figuring we could put it all in that. Not the case this year....

It is a good thing you are doing George. I was out in the woods yesterday for a few hours and saw a lot of crap. Most areas are pretty good though. No refrigerators and such any more. There once were a lot of them.
 
And a great thing you guys are doing.:thumbup: Just unfortunate that there are so many inconsiderate slobs still around. Unbelievable amount of junk.
 
I went to the dump about 3 months ago with a 6 foot bed and a tool box on my truck so that is less than 4 foot, it cost me 25 dollars at the county dump. But it beat dumping it on the side of the road. Great thing you guys are doing George.:beers:
 
we have that problem also. When we had public dumps there was seldom a problem but since they started charging people high rates and being picky about what you could dump it peed off a lot of low income people and they have even dumped their junk at the district offices a time or two, better there than the forest and public land.

I have not put out a recycling box for years since the recyclers convinced the gov't that they could not afford to do it unless the people did most of the work for them. Taking labels off and flattening cans, sorting, etc. Screw them! We pay a private company for garbage pickup and still have to do their work for them? Nope!

We do not dump that stuff, just accumulate until i have a truck full of metal then sell it, the plastics, papers, and cans get burnt in my pit or the woodstove and they can get stuffed! Stupid whining self serving city yuppies who cause way, way, more pollution than any rural folk.:thumbdown:
 
Raise the fees too high, and then people will use other alternatives.. I am not excusing the people.... but I can understand.

If the officials want to reduce problems, drop the price. they will get more people at the tip and make for a cleaner area.

there was a news report on this subject, people dumping into the forrests, I see it often just from hiking or when was walking my old dog... oj

but do like it when find a very old dump site for the old bottles and odd stuff, don't know what makes people tick sure isn't a finely tuned swiss watch .
 
We have the same problem here in Ma. A lot of areas are now posted because of illegal dumping. I used to fill my pick-up with the trash I would find out in the woods, and bring it to the dump my self. Yes it got expensive. I still haul trash out of the woods, not by the truck load anymore. Ron
