People are really shitty sometimes. Crap like this is a constant problem in rural areas. WHY do assholes in suburbia bring their garbage to the country to dump on the side of the road? You see everything you can think of dumped!! RVs, furniture, household garbage, tires…it’s despicable. 🤬🤬🤬
These are two different streets, different years but a common sight out here. 🖕🏻#DontDoThis
@John_Downey I agree totally! It’s a big problem in the rural areas.
Hubby used to come home in the wee hours and often caught dumpers. He’d make them pick it back up and leave. He was so pissed none of them argued for long.
@NorCalCherylLyn
good for him
but how unfair to
fall to him
@John_Downey definitely not his job but he felt a responsibility for our road.
@NorCalCherylLyn and if all of us embraced our roles as members of a community, a shared existence, then we would not have one good soul picking up after so many🙏
@NorCalCherylLyn I hate seeing this kind of thing!
@Tattoomonkey29 it happens so often it’s shocking.
@NorCalCherylLyn Yeah , every now and then my county has free days for large items but if they were consistent it would be much better!
@Tattoomonkey29 they had one here last weekend or it’s this weekend. They bring dumpsters to the school and you can get rid of your big items.
@NorCalCherylLyn I like that idea, Shasta county board of supervisors is cutting everything extra they can to cover their stupid hand counted ballot bullshit!
@Tattoomonkey29 they’re still on that bs? Oy…
@NorCalCherylLyn Ohyeah, and the latest is that they want to switch to being a charter county and just bypass that pesky ole state constitution thing altogether!
@Tattoomonkey29 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I hope they get slapped down hard! Imo if they can’t run the elections correctly according to State law then the State should send people to do it for them.
@NorCalCherylLyn I agree and everyone that I know has called the secretary of state to have our views heard.
@Tattoomonkey29 that’s great! Keep up the fight! The majority of CA is with you.
@NorCalCherylLyn I sure do hope so, these climate disaster denying LaMalfa loving lunatics will happily kill us all! I am contemplating pulling the rip cord and selling everything to relocate to a saner location but are there any left and is the "known and familiar evil" where at least I have long term friends and community better? 0_o...this here is scary as fuck to me " In the same meeting, the board voted to pre-emptively oppose any new Covid restrictions" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/28/california-shasta-county-far-right-mosquito-vaccine
@Tattoomonkey29 LaMalfa, OMD what a turd he is!! I was redistricted into his for awhile. I lived in Lincoln…and was D-1! 🤪🤦🏻♀️ When I first heard I was excited because I’d gone from Dolittle to McClintock. Then I researched LaMalfa and found I was just as screwed. 😣
It’s stunning that they’re preemptively endangering everyone. They sound so insane! Anywhere can be bad. I’m still here because of family so I get it. If I find Shangri-La I’ll let you know. I’m looking but not holding my breath. 😞
@Tattoomonkey29 @NorCalCherylLyn They’re good with us dying, in fact some of them get off on it.
@cjcrew @Tattoomonkey29 they do for sure! 😣
@NorCalCherylLyn @Tattoomonkey29 And they call unironically call themselves pro-life
@Tattoomonkey29 @cjcrew that has always struck me as the worst kind of irony. 🤦🏻♀️
@NorCalCherylLyn @cjcrew I agree it really truly is.!
@NorCalCherylLyn @Tattoomonkey29 It definitely is. It’s the irony horror movies are made of.
@NorCalCherylLyn I'm so glad that the writers strike is over and that they'll get fair treatment , but I'm really glad that my favorite late night funny guys are back to make the Insanity tolerable!!
@Tattoomonkey29 they do help make it bearable!
@Tattoomonkey29 @NorCalCherylLyn As much as I hate living here, we get to throw away one large item a week for free. Nothing in Lansing was free, you had to buy a $35-40 sticker to get a large item picked up and those had restrictions on them. The only restriction I’ve run across here is mattresses and box springs have to be securely wrapped in plastic.
Took me a couple years to find this out about here because I’m so used to not putting large items out for pick up.
@cjcrew @Tattoomonkey29 we need to find a metal scrapper to reduce our large item disposal costs. Daughter and sil have like 3 washers to get rid of. Rural folks store their trash on their property, urban/suburban people are the dumpers out here.
@NorCalCherylLyn @Tattoomonkey29 When I lived I Lansing my neighborhood was right off the intersection of two fairly major highways, but the neighborhood was mostly residential with a couple gas stations and small businesses clustered around the on/off ramps (with MSU just down the street). It wasn’t unusual to see large appliances tossed out along one of the side streets, or furniture. We were the “worthless” area where many tossed their old couches or dryers. Residents also did this as well.
@cjcrew @Tattoomonkey29 I’ve never understood making your trash a neighborhood or a law enforcement problem.
@NorCalCherylLyn @Tattoomonkey29 The problem is disposing of large items is expensive, for both the municipality and the residents. This was a student/poor working class area and most people couldn’t afford the fees. If you left it in your yard the city would fine you, which was more expensive than a tag would have cost, so if you couldn’t afford the tag you definitely couldn’t afford the fine. Dumping it becomes the only option many could afford.
@cjcrew @Tattoomonkey29 it should be more civically minded. I get the being unable to afford it! It shouldn’t be cost prohibitive.
@NorCalCherylLyn @Tattoomonkey29 It shouldn’t be cost prohibitive and it shouldn’t be information you have to hunt down. However, if I’d have called and asked they may have been forthcoming with this information, I don’t know since I didn’t call. I get confused trying to figure out most organizations phone systems.
@NorCalCherylLyn @Tattoomonkey29 Lansing did have a program for people who couldn’t afford the stickers but I’m not sure most knew that was available. I didn’t learn about it until a year or so before I moved and I lived in that house for 20+ years so I doubt most know about it. Not many would have bothered to inquire and they didn’t have it in a prominent position on their website. I’m not sure how I discovered it but I’m sure I found it while looking for something else out there.
@cjcrew @Tattoomonkey29 I think they hide that info on purpose so it so t get used effectively. 🤦🏻♀️
@NorCalCherylLyn @Tattoomonkey29 They don’t want to spend the money is my guess. They’d rather use it toward something else and leave us to deal with the problem of disposal.
@NorCalCherylLyn @Tattoomonkey29 I’m noticing most areas no longer have junk yards or dumps for you to take that stuff to either. There was a scrap metal yard on the north end of the city but it cost to take them there so it would have been easier and not much more to just buy a sticker.
@cjcrew @Tattoomonkey29 a scrap yard helps but there is so much you can’t take to them.
@NorCalCherylLyn Because they think they'll get away with it. They think they won't be seen. I live in a suburb of SF, but a shortcut to my home is under a bridge and I find bulky things dumped there as well as trash along the freeway. This, despite our neighborhood gets two free pickup of large items per year.
@EloiseHamann they really don’t expect to be caught. It’s so selfish.
They were always surprised that hubby stopped and challenged them. But they always picked it up…
OMG! How disgusting! Too bad they aren't caught. They should be fined up the cazoo. If repeat offender, do a stint in the local jail. Shame them by printing their names and pictures in the local newspapers. I would show no mercy....
@Spagesgallo1 I’d love it if that happened!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Me too! It is infuriating. I used to see the same thing done on Long Island. I have no doubt that I will encounter it here in upstate NY. People can be such disgusting pigs. No respect for Mother Earth or our environment.
@Spagesgallo1 no respect for anything at all. I cannot fathom making my mess someone else’s problem. The entitlement they feel is so frustrating.
Agreed! No respect at all is right. They use everything like it's their own personal garbage can. I feel the same way about people who have a sense of entitlement...I just wished that there was something that could be done to prevent this from happening. It's getting so out of control.
@Spagesgallo1 I wish we could fix it too. It’s totally out of control!
I know and it's only getting worse. And they are talking about humans establishing themselves on the moon. We are destroying the one home that we have. So now they want to destroy the moon too?
@Spagesgallo1 in the name of exploration we’ll take our dysfunction and ruin everywhere we go. We need to fix us HERE first.
I couldn't agree with you more! We have so much work to do that it's mind boggling! Then there's climate change! 😭
@Spagesgallo1 so many really important things aren’t being done and it’s so frustrating. 😣
I know! I know! 😢
@NorCalCherylLyn They do it because disposing of large items is expensive. That does not excuse them being dicks and doing this sort of thing however. If you can afford a damn boat then you can afford disposal if said damn boat.
@cjcrew that’s what I think every time I see one dumped! If you can afford the boat you can afford to scrap it! Either sell it, fix it or pay to dump it. It’s your problem, not ours. #RudePeople
@NorCalCherylLyn
this should come with an automatic 10 days
for all the wrong reasons
punish the arrogant
ruin them socially
cost them employment
I am uncharitable tonight
but so were these self important pigs
