Not everybody has a pickup truck or the manpower to haul large items around. Let them come pick it up, for free, is by far the best way to handle this.

Gandtee Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 What about small items? Some roadsides are used as rubbish dumps for all sorts of garbage. Perhaps if community bins were placed at convenient sites and emptied on a regular basis it might help stop dumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
