eman Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 I hate seeing all kinds of plastic bottles, lure rappers, worm containers, beer bottles on the banks. Drives me nuts. I yelled at a dude last weekend when he tossed his no frills bag into a bush
hendrix Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 i work as a buggy boy at walmart. believe you me its not just immigrants who throw their garbage out in the parking lot or use the shopping carts as garbage cans. these disgusting dirty savages even leave their babies' diapers for me to pick up, not to mention food and coffee cups and just plain bags of garbage. people are probably the most disgusting animal on this planet
dks Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 I used to think that canoeists and campers didn't litter as much, but, after seeing garbage at portage access points and picnic stops I've come to the conclusion that there is a segment of the population that either don't care or aren't aware that littering is unacceptable. There are litterers in every segment of society. Some more than others I'm sure. Best thing we can do is to point out to litterers that it is not acceptable. Speaking up will make a difference.

esoxansteel Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 You think thats bad, wait till the rednecks and flossers come out for the annual chinook fest, earplugs, and empty marshmellow bags and garbage everywhere, not to mention discarded chinook carcases
SRT8 smoker craft Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 this is the junk we pulled out of my home river a few years ago and we picked up 15 black garbage bags full last spring also .
bigugli Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 If you want to see a real nasty mess, go to Union Station. Look on the tracks at any platform and you will see a sea of McD's garbage all over the place... Same at track level either side of every subway station. I used to clean that up some decades back as a "track rat".
SRT8 smoker craft Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 good on you SRT8 and the group with you! Thanks man it get harder every year to get volunteers to help we didn't do one this year but will be doing another clean-up spring of 2012.
4x4bassin Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 A couple months ago I was driving to work through Hockley Valley and I was following a cadilac suv when all of a sudden out the window comes coffee cups and paper bags with who knows what's in them , I see it is 4 teenagers and I would assume they were heading home from Wasaga.I was able to get along side of them at the next light and I proceded to explain to them that the roadside is not a garbage dump , well to my shock the kid driving the suv told me off and the passengers all flipped me the bird ! Well that didn't go to well with me so I got there plate # and phoned the cops. The dispatcher took down the info and said thanks. About 5 minutes later to my surprise an OPP officer called me back and said that she was disgusted with the litering of roadsides in our area (Caledon/Dufferin) and was going to pay the owner of the truck a visit (it was in her district) and remind them that the roads are not garbage dumps or she was going to catch them on the road and possibly issue a ticket ! I guess this punk won't be going to the beach in daddys caddy any time soon !!!!!
