There's loads of littering by me but I don't think people realize how much of the trash blowing around isn't left out by individuals (intentionally or accidentally) but an artifact of our trash collection process.
A lot of the litter by me either falls out of the bin/truck during collection, is dug out of trash cans by squirrels, or spills out when the wind opens the can lid or even blows it over completely. There's things we can do to mitigate that but it'll never be perfect so you'll always see "someone else's trash" blowing in the wind.

- micromacrofoot 3y agoThere's the whole other aspect of people who don't care to properly bag trash (which attracts more vermin that also spread litter). It's a very frustrating situation.
- kgermino 3y agoOh I hate that! It's far from a perfect solution - bags tear, you can't bag recyclables, sidewalk and park trash cans will always have loose trash - but it's huge and too many people don't know or care to do it.
