Even with volunteers you'd have to find someone to pay for the garbage disposal too. If the county owned a land fill they would probably be ok to work with some charitable group but I think everything gets trucked out of the county. The cost of dumping garbage for someone who's out of work might be too high. I know the cost of a garbage service isnt high but if you dont have the money, you dont have the money, but illegal dumping is absolutely wrong, its a pickle...be vigilant...hopefully you catch them.

Sounds like for the right organiser this could be a not for profit business opportunity. Maybe some grants out there to help fund a business which could, in turn, employ more people.

We called to see if we could get it picked up but they didnt promise anything.

I wonder if anyone considered just asking them to clean up or even
offer to help them clean up.

Again, I do not mean to offend anyone, but it is definately an eyesore and seems to be getting worse. Is there any sort of ordinance or anything that addresses this sort of thing? Or are we just at the mercy of things and have to look at this from now on?
Just wondering but was that so called eyesore already like that when you moved up here from probally ********? Why do all you ********** move up here from the city then go crying about needing more ordinaces in the country.

Because maybe they just don't like sh&tty surroundings and crap staring them in the face when they turn a certain direction. Just like lots of people don't - ever thought about that?

It is obvious BC is under educated (can’t even spell Florida) and takes pleasure in doing the one thing he does well - agitating others with crude comments.

He will receive no pleasure if you ignore him.
