😊I have 80 acres in Tennessee. I ended up putting cameras on my property, especially along the roadway. Over the last four years, 6 people have been caught by my cameras and fined for dumping on my property. One of them was a neighbor, who lives only a mile down the road. It’s amazing who is willing to do something so silly when they think no one is watching.
We get a regular stream of CRT TVs dumped on our property in SC. Our local dump will take them, but have a $5/TV charge. I haven't owned a CRT TV in probably close to 20 years, but I've paid 50 bucks to get rid of them over the years because of people dumping them on my property. Thankfully, our local dump doesn't charge for tires, so those don't show up. But if you have to pay to get rid of it, it's going to show up on farms, seems to be a law of nature.
I may wind up using them for that too. I thought about using them as a base for a shipping container too. These are big rig tires, not little car or truck tires. I moved a bunch around on Saturday with the pallet forks. @@joshua511
We had people dumping on our property in Russell county Alabama. I found some mail with names and addresses. I took it to the sheriff's office and the deputy went and made the people clean up the whole area. Told them if anything else was dumped around the area he would personally drag them out to clean it up. Then take them to county jail to wait for a court date. No more problems for me.
When I was a kid we lived in the countryside my father seen a truck dumping garbage on his property he watched them when they left he followed them to their house he went home he loaded up all the garbage took it back to the house and dumped it in their yard
Code enforcement don't want to look up your permits they want to see what other codes they can find you broke. Some of them enforcers can be outright nasty.
Josh, I had this problem on a piece of property I once owned I put up trail cameras hidden in the trees and I also put up a couple of solar lights that activate when somebody or something drives by them got a couple of snapshots of people doing things they weren’t supposed to gave to the cops a few people were approached and the site began to be known as a no go zone. A few people got tickets including a company van good luck.
Several years ago I posted on Facebook about someone dumping a truck load of garbage on the side of the road near my house. Within a few hours the litter control officer in our county, Chilton County in Alabama, messaged me on Messenger and talked to me about it. She went through that garbage and found an address, went to the address and told them they had 2 days to pick up their garbage or she would be back with warrants for their arrest. 1 day later it was spotless where they had dumped.
I was going to write the same thing, but noticed you already did. There is a purchase order number on every McDonald’s receipt with a time stamp. I’m sure they have cameras that they could go back and look at the footage. I don’t know if the authorities would go so far for a minor offense. I feel for you though because it’s wrong to litter someone’s property as well as far more serious to put debris in a water source. I like the idea of cameras out there and I know you have lots of cameras on your property. I hope you find some resolution to this problem, as it is morally wrong to toss debris on someone property. Good luck and Merry Christmas 🎄!
That is assuming the local LEO feels like doing it. Most have much higher priority things on the agenda. Plus their boss has to justify it to their boss. Unless they see it happening, it is usually another "unsolved mystery". Some individual could follow up, and gather all the necessary info and it still is only a "round toit" day type of thing.
My family had a 500 acre dairy farm in SE Minnesota up to 1981. The house was set about 300 feet from the road. We had trouble with people stopping at the end of the driveway, opening a door and letting out a cat then speeding off. We already had 20-30 cats at any given time. The other problem was people stealing the rare flowers in the grove next to the ditch and a little west of the driveway. I remember seeing one, car comes screeching to a halt, guy runs across ditch with a shovel to get some of those flowers, run back to the car throwing stuff in the car and the wife spins the tires as they leave. I just watched dumbfounded. If they merely drove in and asked my mom she might have said yes you can take some of them. Multiple times people stole from that flower patch. The driveway was on the crest of a hill and multiple times people went into the ditch in the winter time and one of my brothers would pull them out with one of our tractors. Farmers have a different way of thinking than a lot of city folk.
Interesting stories. I just asked a neighbor to dig up some bamboo he has growing out near his ditch by the road. He said sure, I offered to pay him but he said “no sir, you won’t pay me”. They are currently clearing the property near the road for a fence. I suppose he would need to clear the bamboo if we didn’t dig it up, a win win for both parties. As to the animals, I live in a rural area and we seem to be a destination for dropping off unwanted animals, I have called animal control many times to come pick them up. A few years ago I had 4 young kittens show up here, I don’t think they were dropped off, they were at the age where mama cat disowns them. I called animal control and they told me that they don’t pick up cats anymore, only dogs, and that I would need to bring them to the shelter. I got friendly with the cats, over the next couple of days, so that they would let me handle them, and found a box. Took several hours to get all 4 in the box, had to tape the box up really well as they were escape artists, and drove down to the county shelter. The lady there told me she couldn’t take them because I hadn’t made an appointment 😡 I told her that I called before and the person I talked to said to bring them there and didn’t mention an appointment, she repeated that she couldn’t take them without an appointment. I told her, “well, these cats are gonna be your problem because I’m gonna turn them loose in your county and that I would be hard pressed to tangle them into the box again. I did set them loose but did it at the baseball fields next to a subdivision so they had a chance of being taken in by the people living there. I didn’t like doing that but I didnt have time to fool with them anymore and I don’t feel bad about it since I tried to do the right thing but the county wouldn’t bend the rules a bit. For gods sake, I was at the shelter with the cats, just take the damn cats without the appointment.
I feel for you brother. I absolutely cannot stand trash on the ground anywhere. We have the same problem here in Missouri. During my brief time in the military (it was cut short due to health problems) my Master Sargent found a toothpick on the ground and threw a major fit over it. I supported him 100%. Thanks for sharing your video. Take care and God Bless.
I live on a dirt road about 17 miles from the nearest town here in Missouri. I really feel for you as I also spend several hours each week picking up bottles and cans along my frontage. Worst is when the town folks "drop off" their garbage bags.
I am also in a rural part of North Carolina. Dirtbags that drive past the entrance to my small elderberry farm regularly toss trash into the drainage ditch along the edge of the road. Before my home was built there, they would park in the entrance to the driveway and drop their fast food trash, beer cans and bottles, cigarette butts and liquor bottles at the edge of the locked gate. I can't count the number of cans and bottles my wife and I have picked up. We have even pulled a beat up old office chair out of the drainage ditch. People have no consideration for others or for the land. If I had tried that kind of nonsense when I was young, my father would have whipped my tail, then brought me back to the site to pick up the trash and apologize to the owner. Take care and God Bless - and Merry Christmas!
I feel you, Josh. I frequently fill a garbage bag with litter along my much smaller property in SC. Many beer and liquor bottles typically, which is a concern by itself. Not sure why these folks think it's acceptable to dump trash - let's keep doing the right thing though and take pride in our properties.
If states like Michigan would put a 10 cent deposit on all cans and bottles there would be a lot less trash on the side of the road. Michigan roads are pretty clean.
In Little Canada, MN, there is a trail behind my house that collects litter. Generally, I take the time to collect it and route it accordingly. One time there was broken glass on the trail. I told a public works employee exactly where it was. Ten days later it was still there. I swept it into a bag, and dropped it into the nearest trash can with a strongly worded note attached. Trash problems on the trail have been minimal since.
When people trespass, cause property damage, dump trash and the like proves one thing: Either their parents were irresponsible at teaching respect for others or the (still) child was too stupid to learn.
Hi Sr . Your farm is beautiful and you keep it very clean. I live in NYC but one day I want to see a farm like yours. Your farm look peaceful . Enjoy and God bless you.
Good news is that receipt has the store number and usually the time when the food was ordered. So that can be used to pull camera footage from that specific mcdonald's. I am currently a Corrections Deputy in MI and we have a work release program that Im apart of that cleans roads, storm damage and anything else our county road commission needs help with. Sorry you have to take time out of your busy day to deal with that.. Another great video highlighting problems that can be solved with simple common sense and decency.. Keep up the great work!!
We wear a backpack when walking our dogs. It used to be for carrying the poop bags & water, for them. We upsized the backpack for the Trash we collect. Even along the RR tracks, the trash is everywhere. It’s become a Game to stay ahead of the Trashers.
I really dislike litterbugs. Being a detective with a pretty good case load, I don't often have time to work on litter cases but sometimes when time permits, one of my favorite things to do is to sift through a bag of nasty domestic garbage and pin it down to a particular owner. Having to be thorough, I still have to be sure it was that person who dumped it (We occasionally have bags fall from garbage trucks.) I once found three bags of trash a man dumped into a creek off a little bridge. He admitted it and I wrote him three tickets, one for each bag of garbage. That would have hit him for $500 for each ticket. I told him IF he cleaned it all up and produced receipts where he took it to the land fill, I wouldn't file the citations. He got the three bags but I had told him to clean up the site and haul it all to the landfill. It was a place with a chronic litter issue, from old bicycles etc you name it. When I called him and told him he had failed to get "all" of the litter in that location he wined about it. I told him, it was his choice. $1,500 in tickets or go get the rest of the litter and show me receipts from proper disposal at the land fill which would cost him a few hours and about 25 or 30 dollars to dump at the landfill. He complied. He wound up having to clean up not only his own trash but someone else's The trash at the location was cleaned up for a time anyway. After his little lesson, as promised, I didn't file the citations on him. I figured it was a win for all concerned, even for him. I can only hope (probably in vain) that he did learn a lesson.
Our DOT workers pickup the trash here in ct. the same guys that plow the snow, mow the sides of the highway and do the actual road maintenance. It actually discourages a lot of people from working there because one day you can doing something you’re specialized in, then the next day on the side of the road picking up trash. Merry Christmas!
When I started working in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, I was amazed where you'd find trash thrown out alongside the road. It wasn't the occasional out-the-window version, dumping like you've experienced.
Hey brother, I feel your pain, I had bought a few acres years ago about 30 minutes from where I live. Once I cleared a road and put up a gate and a No Trespassing sign, the dumpong began. First shingles, then it progressed to dead shrimp heads and fish guts, apparently my property used to gave access to a hunt club for the guys to drop their dogs, which they still did by the way. It eventually slowed, but never stopped, it sucks how folks can be so really live up to the name of being trashy. Maybe placing a section of tall chain link along the pond/road buffer behind the street curve signs may help.
I grew up in the 50's & 60's in a small cotton farming town about 70 miles south of Phoenix, AZ. We had county jail inmates that picked up our trash as they drove down the alleys behind our homes. When I was about 6 yrs. old I was playing in our backyard & there was a very large snake in one of the tree wells. I started yelling at the top of my lungs "Mom snake, Mom snake". The trash crew was just picking up our trash and one of the inmates calmly walked over to the snake picked him up with a shovel & tossed him into the bed of the garbage truck. He said "no worries, it's just a gopher snake, not a rattlesnake". To me that didn't matter much, it was still the biggest snake I had ever seen and it was pretty scary to me.
@@DIVISIONINCISION Very true, I live in Glendale, but continued to travel down to Coolidge almost monthly for many years to visit my parents. My dad had a burglar break into his home one night through a bedroom window. My dad jumped up grabbed his old Walther's P-38 pistol that he "acquired" in Germany during WWII and yelled out "I got a gun and I'm about to shoot you unless you go out the same way you came in". Needless to say the guy left very quickly. My dad was 95 when this happened. He lived to be 100 yr. 4 mo. He fought in WWII for 3 yrs. and was at Omaha Beach Red (2nd wave) and the Battle of the Bulge. This burglar didn't know who he was messing with! Arizona is rapidly becoming just another liberal democratically controlled state.
People use the gravel roads along our homestead in Iowa as their personal trash dump. We are constantly picking up trash. Recently, an entire kitchen sink (including the base cabinet) was thrown out along the road. The part that makes me the saddest is the neighboring farmhands are some of the ones throwing out the trash.
Im a heavy equipment operator in western PA work on alot of roads/highways and in the city of Pittsburgh and the amount of trash I see along the roads is actually unbelievable. Also my property borders a state road an hour north of the city and deal with the same thing. The worst part is it ends up in the streams and waterways, however the environmental activists are real quiet about that...
The activists are probably quiet about it for two reasons. Firstly, they may be unaware of the problem. Secondly, and more importantly really, one corporation can do as much environmental damage as ALL of these incidents COMBINED and far worse, so ...
Hi, Sorry you are needing to deal with this foul behavior. Thank you for doing the clean up and initiating the complaint to start the investigations. There maybe a camera at the Mc Ds that the timestamp would identify the purchaser/pot'l litterer. It also maybe cheaper to set up a hunter's camera to document perpetrators of littering etc than a dumpster, just a thought. God's blessings on your fine farming!
We have a serious problem in this country! I live in Pittsburgh, and there are whole neighborhoods that are literally covered in trash and litter! When did this start to happen, and why? I go once a week and collect all of the litter on my street. What a huge difference it makes.
When I was first married my husband and I were traveling across country when he threw out the window a gum wrapper! I bitched for several minutes on being a litter bug wasn’t cool!!! He swiftly made a upturn went back approximately the same distance and found something small on the ground, walked back, opened the door and threw the wrapper at me and said there, are you happy?!?! I smiled and said thank you! He never threw out anything again!!!
You are in NC and there are beer bottles scattered around. I would say be on the look out for 3 men that may have been in the tub for a little late night fishing. I would be looking for a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker.
Hey Stoney ridge, my name is Terry, I'm a 64 year young Granny and GGranny here in Greensboro NC and yes I Do think that the Inmates still go around picking up trash on the sides of the road...Don't Quite me on this, but I have seen Orange bags laying around in the grass and that used to be a sure sign that they was out and about...Anyway, I hope that thay catch the sucker's...Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New
People that don't hate other people just for being who they are? If you hate bud lite because of a trans person, then you are the real problem. And no, I am no crazy Liberal.
up in the mountains of Virginia, we have the same problems with idiots throwing trash and beer bottles in the woods and on the side of the road not to mention that these same people will steal anything that is not bolted down.
Put one of those reolink cameras right up on one of those trees, where they slide the garbage down to the pond. And a sign saying” smile your on camera 😊” merry Christmas Stoney ridge.
I'm just going to say it Josh, those people are assholes. The fines for littering should at least $5000.00, that should teach them a lesson. Merry Christmas, God Bless y'all. John V. Michigan
"...fines for littering should at least $5000...." -- While the outrage is understandable, never, EVER pine for any solution that enriches government. Be careful what you wish for..
I was picking up trash on the farm I had, and found three cases of long neck bottles of bud, now like a good person I drank them for picking up all the trash, Thank You!!!
I live in Coweta county, Georgia, and we do utilize inmate labor to bushhog and clean up our road right-of-ways. I would think the inmates probably enjoy getting out on the nice days and actually accomplish clean up duties. One downside to "open container" laws is that the delinquents who like to drive around imbibing their favorite alcoholic beverage don't want to risk getting stopped with their cans and bottles in their vehicles, so out the windows they go. I pick up their detritus on a daily basis.
My grandmother used to have a farm in central Texas. When I was a kid we’d drive all the county dirt roads around the farm, me sitting on the tailgate of the truck stopping to clean up the sides of the road. I’d spend a month out there every summer and we’d do that a half dozen times or so and usually had enough aluminum beer cans to fill the entire bed of the truck higher than the roof with full lawn and garden trash bags. I always went home with really good pocket money from the recycler in town. But it goes to show how much people can suck and just toss their garbage anywhere. And my mother once found a man who’d been shot dumped still half alive over the fence of my parents ranch in the Hill Country. She tried to save him but he died before the ambulance got there from town.
We bought a farm and in building things it’s unbelievable how much stuff the people who used to live here just buried in the dirt like this was the dump. I think that’s what a lot of farmers did as they just dug a hole and dumped all the garbage in it and covered it up.
I understand you pain, on our property here in Mississippi we have the same problem with people dumping their trash and other undesirables out on the side of the road along our property as well. Drives me crazy, I try and pick up a lot of it but just can't keep up. There is NO respect for others property.
My wife and i lived in eastern TN and it is a common thing to see people throwing trash out on a daily basis all over in town out of town in peoples yards. They just dont give a rats backside. So i feel you. Here i. South Dakota its a different story and they do still use inmates to clean up roadways and ditches. All the best.
Stoney Ridge Farm. When people dump things in your pond if it's steel can you take it to the scrap yard can cash it in. Would it help if you had a camera near the pond maybe you could identify the person. And turn them in to the police. God bless your channel.
You need to DEMAND a fence be placed along the road. They do it for deer safety, the state or county can do it to help slow down this type of dumping. The owner need to place a cell deer camera that is focused on license plates and another camera focused on faces. My property in Ohio is the exact distance it takes to eat a quarter Pounder before tossing the McDonalds bag, samich wrapper and fry container out there window into my yard.
I Wish People Respected other Peoples Property and Nature in general. There are always gonna be the people who dont which is just Sad... You handled it the right way. I hope you dont have anymore problems like this. Much Respect and God Bless You.❤😊
We have had problems with people trespassing & dumping garbage also. They dumped a whole living room set one time, A couch, love seat & a chair. They were people driving across our field to get to a slough. packed our fields terribly. We finally bulldozed the driveway out to help keep them out. I'm from Minnesota & we don't have inmates picking up garbage here either as far as I know.
Hey Josh, it stinks that you're dealing with this type of crap. I think I'd put at least a couple high resolution security cameras somewhere that you'll be able to catch images of vehicles, license plates, and perhaps even faces. It would cost some serious money, but once Code Enforcement starts citing people for dumping on your property, the word will get out not to litter and dump on that stretch of road.
Brother. You have a beautiful peace of property! That little clean up was good cardio exercise and took 10 minutes max. My tiny 350 square foot Los Angles apartment takes me 20x longer to clean up because it's like a Rubic's cube. (if I move 1 thing, I have to displace 20 other things.).
In my county in Virginia we pay a company $100's of thousands to pick up trash. Our county has said having inmates do it is crucial and unusual punishment. Trash on the side of the road is a problem every where. We need the Indian with a tear in his eye to do PSA's again. Merry Christmas.
We are living rural. This happens here all the time. People dump their trash, junk, old tires, glass, furniture on my property, in the ditch, side of the road, etc. The worst is the used diapers though. Hundreds of them. Many in bags, Into the ditch water. Soaks and becomes like 30 pounds heavy each. Disgusting to the max, and it's really difficult to clean up.
Frustrating to say the least, in my area illegal renovations are so common. Which the next step of the illegal renovation is illegally dumping the waste. So the city has put up cameras to monitor high dump locations. My option is the fine should be staggering, and on top of that forced to spend hundreds of hours cleaning other dump location up
as a teenager, my ex-husband did this, but had papers with their names and addresses on it, so he got caught. LOL. recently I watched a show in California and the resident said that there is a huge problem now with people using his farmland for a dump and he keeps calling the police, but the police now say that the problem is out of control and they won't do anything about it anymore. Here in Oregon I have recently seen prison road crews. sorry you have to go through that, you have a beautiful farm.
It is frustrating! Someone keeps dumping their crap in the alley behind my house and the City keeps showing up at my house to blame me! Last time I threw garbage in the bin in the alley a homeless person was sitting up against my fence. No matter where you move to there's always something!
That's an aggravation, here in Indianapolis litter is/was a community service function. I deal with litter constantly. Once while picking up litter along the road, someone stopped dropped their trash in the middle of the street, waited until I seen it then took off 😂 Drunk drivers hit the fence or poles, broken glass and mirrors, getting that cleaned up so the flock, especially the turkeys don't eat the little pieces of glass. I am pretty sure that is what killed my big thanksgiving bird, Jive Turkey 😞
You should not have thrown that receipt away. It has a time stamp on it. You can take that receipt back to the store and they can go over their in-store surveillance tapes and give you a picture of the person that received that receipt.
Leland Cypress. They grow fast. They will grow in that little strip near the road. They build a wall if you plant them close enough to one another. They will create a barrier so drivers are not so tempted to try and hit the pond with the trash, and do so in a way that keeps a very nice looking landscape on your property.
You might be able to use that McDonald's receipt and get the date/time of the order, which, combined with any McDonald's video that Code Enforcement might be able to obtain could catch those rascals. Video footage should be allowed (in my non-lawyer opinion) as a crime was committed, even though it wasn't on McDonald's property (contributory evidence?). Hope this helps you catch those litterbugs. JD
Clark County Ohio has inmates clean the roadways and deposit the litter they gather in plastic bags and deposit them along the roadway and someone picks them up and I guess puts them in the landfill. This helps keep our roadways clean, greatly appreciated.
I am on the other side of the country in Washington state. People in my area will not just throw cans and bottles out, but will throw bags of trash and couches and recliners. I have had people throw tires out of a moving vehicle because they were strewn for a half-mile. We even occasionally have a travel trailer or motorhome abandoned. Some people truly are just pigs.
Same here, we have a small farm in King, NC with several hundred feet of frontage that we keep mowed so it will look nice and neat by the road. Every time we mow we're having to keep stopping and pick up the trash.
Looks to me like it might have just blown off a passing vehicle. Could be an honest mistake or it could be on purpose. I counted at least three cars passing by why you were collecting it. If you really want to catch the people I suggest a few hidden cameras. If all the small items were inside the tub I can see that being launched. If you can pick up the tub with one hand it cannot weigh much.
Very doubtful. if it was scattered all along that guardrail, maybe. But all being in one spot, I'm pretty sure it was dumped by some a$$hat turning a trash trailer into an AirBnb thinking they can make a fortune. Happens on the dead end road that my cabin is on all the time. Don't want to pay the $25 a load to dump it at the town dump. Kind of ironic...trailer trash dumping trailer trash.
Wa. I know how frustrating this is. We, 4 houses, had a neighbor dump a truckload of garbage on our common driveway. County said we needed 3 pieces of trash with their names on it to be able to prosecute. I had 2 receipts that told me who they were and where they live. 2 doors down.
Possibly the bath is not deliberate: Could be that contractor didn't secure the trash in the back of his truck and it blew off around the corner. Of course that is a misdemeanor. You might be able to find the culprit using that McD receipt since there is a order # and time stamp on it. Probably would need to get code enforcement to check it for you. If you do find out, send them a bill for the clean up!
Where I live “loosing your load” is a First Time offense of $10K if your a contractor hauling anything. If you a person in a car and you toss a lit cigarette is go see the judge max 1k dollar ticket first offense and a single beer can is a $111 dollar fine. Our highways are almost spotless illegal trash dumps are mostly gone. ✌️
Yeah right, if things blow off a car they don’t end up all together like that they would have been over a stretch of road. Plus it would have to be a very bad contractor who didn’t secure his load of trash at all.
Use the shower insert to build a "no-dumping trash ~ cultivating farm" sign posted right at that corner before the pond ~ "if you dont want to eat it, then don't dump it here" ~ aim high Airman \m/
I had a renter who was a painter who threw the paint cans in apartment dumpsters. I also had a renter who when he moved there was a least 20 tires in the back yard. I got rid of the tires when i went by a garage and their was a truck full of 100's of tires and the owner said i could put them on the truck and he did not charge me.
I just moved to Oklahoma and haven't seen any road crews around. I lived in Calloway County Kentucky in 2022 and they do have road crews that do clean up the roads and sometimes do painting of city and county properties.
We have a small farm in Iowa. We have to collect the garbage other folks leave behind. The land fill is only a couple of miles away. But, we have to do it for them.
From south-central New Mexico. Just like in the western movies. There is broken glass and debris pretty much everywhere. Occasionally I pull a small utility trailer behind my 4 wheeler with a couple of trash barrels & go throughout the area community to pickup trash, bottles, etc. Amazing how much trash I can collect. Thankfully, as a county resident, there is a central trash collection point where I can get rid of pretty much anything at no cost. I end up being a frequent visitor there. On rare occasions, people think that the long empty stretches of county highways are best suited to dispose of appliances and other bulk trash. On those occasions, a call to the county DPW results in them sending out a couple of guys in a truck to collect the trash.
I once owned a bare lot near the Salton Sea. The neighbor on my East property line installed a new fence. Requiring much trimming of trees and shrubs. All of those trimmings and the previous fence waste was thrown onto my property. Without even an attempt to hide its origin. I recieved notice from code enforcement to clean it up. Which cost me a weeks pay to hire it done. Prior to the clea up I contacted code enforcement and met them at the property. They agreed with me that obviously the neighbor was responsible for the mess. But without a witness they would not persue the matter. I knew the problem would continue and had no plans to develop the property so sold it.
Last summer I went for a Sunday drive in north central Washington. I had a camera and a camera drone. I drove down along the Okanogan River just north of town and pulled into a turnout along the river hoping to get a nice shot looking up river. Got everything ready and stepped over to the bank. Between me and the river were three truck tires, a bunch of car parts, a party canopy, an old barbecue and miscellaneous trash, at least a full pickup load. It WAS a beautiful spot, but spoiled by someone's laziness. I took pictures of the trash and posted them on the community Facebook page. The result was, a community cleanup along the river, and the county came along and built a 4 foot tall berm along the river to make dumping trash much more difficult. (The did still leave room to pull off the road) Before anyone says, "why didn't you...", I am 72, arthritic and I was driving a car.
Turn the bath tub into a worm bin. Set in woods near your home to put food scraps and greens in it. Keep drain open on bottom and a board over the top. You will have worms move in and they will always be able to grab worms for fishing or compost for gardening. A little recycle reuse tip
Bathtubs do float. Gotta plug the drain of course. As wild kids we actually tried this in our stock pond. And it was cast iron claw foot. It barely floated though. Costs money to go to landfill so people throw it in the ditch. Happens to me often
I live in a rural area along a major two lane highway in western Kentucky. People are all the time throwing trash into the ditch in front of our house, that I keep mowed, that I have to pick up and dispose of. Lived here 25 yrs. and it hasn’t gotten any better. People are very inconsiderate of property of others.
Hi Josh, maybe consider installing cameras around the pond, all it takes is catching just one litter bug, and the word will get out there, maybe no littering signs.
Josh can you mount another camera? If this is a constant thing consider an extra camera. We are in Lunenburg Co Va. and have road gangs. I was a CO at Tazewell Correctional Unit and we had 4 gangs we sent out daily. That was years ago. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🎅❤️God bless🙏

😊I have 80 acres in Tennessee. I ended up putting cameras on my property, especially along the roadway. Over the last four years, 6 people have been caught by my cameras and fined for dumping on my property. One of them was a neighbor, who lives only a mile down the road. It’s amazing who is willing to do something so silly when they think no one is watching.
On our property, it is usually used tires. Lots of used tires and roofing shingles.
We get a regular stream of CRT TVs dumped on our property in SC. Our local dump will take them, but have a $5/TV charge. I haven't owned a CRT TV in probably close to 20 years, but I've paid 50 bucks to get rid of them over the years because of people dumping them on my property. Thankfully, our local dump doesn't charge for tires, so those don't show up. But if you have to pay to get rid of it, it's going to show up on farms, seems to be a law of nature.
@@MikeOrazzi Man, I'll take those used tires for a shooting range berm.
I may wind up using them for that too. I thought about using them as a base for a shipping container too. These are big rig tires, not little car or truck tires. I moved a bunch around on Saturday with the pallet forks. @@joshua511

We had people dumping on our property in Russell county Alabama. I found some mail with names and addresses. I took it to the sheriff's office and the deputy went and made the people clean up the whole area. Told them if anything else was dumped around the area he would personally drag them out to clean it up. Then take them to county jail to wait for a court date. No more problems for me.
When I was a kid we lived in the countryside my father seen a truck dumping garbage on his property he watched them when they left he followed them to their house he went home he loaded up all the garbage took it back to the house and dumped it in their yard
Code enforcement don't want to look up your permits they want to see what other codes they can find you broke. Some of them enforcers can be outright nasty.
He lived his whole life and doesn’t understand he pisses people off.
Get a camera? Going both directions to gather tags? Love this guy, he's cares about not only his property but the community he lives in.
Josh, I had this problem on a piece of property I once owned I put up trail cameras hidden in the trees and I also put up a couple of solar lights that activate when somebody or something drives by them got a couple of snapshots of people doing things they weren’t supposed to gave to the cops a few people were approached and the site began to be known as a no go zone. A few people got tickets including a company van good luck.
@SARTECH3 ....I like Your style! YOU totally "ROCK" dude.
People illegally hunting to on your property to.
Several years ago I posted on Facebook about someone dumping a truck load of garbage on the side of the road near my house. Within a few hours the litter control officer in our county, Chilton County in Alabama, messaged me on Messenger and talked to me about it. She went through that garbage and found an address, went to the address and told them they had 2 days to pick up their garbage or she would be back with warrants for their arrest. 1 day later it was spotless where they had dumped.
Loving all this
The receipt has a timestamp and usually a register number. McDonalds probably has cameras. The cops may be able to track the dude down from that.
I just posted the same thing, I hope he sees one of our comments. 😎
I was going to write the same thing, but noticed you already did. There is a purchase order number on every McDonald’s receipt with a time stamp. I’m sure they have cameras that they could go back and look at the footage. I don’t know if the authorities would go so far for a minor offense. I feel for you though because it’s wrong to litter someone’s property as well as far more serious to put debris in a water source. I like the idea of cameras out there and I know you have lots of cameras on your property. I hope you find some resolution to this problem, as it is morally wrong to toss debris on someone property. Good luck and Merry Christmas 🎄!
That doesn't prove who tossed the trash. It doesn't matter who bought the item that's not a crime, you need evidence of who dumped it...
lol...yeah right
That is assuming the local LEO feels like doing it. Most have much higher priority things on the agenda. Plus their boss has to justify it to their boss. Unless they see it happening, it is usually another "unsolved mystery". Some individual could follow up, and gather all the necessary info and it still is only a "round toit" day type of thing.
My family had a 500 acre dairy farm in SE Minnesota up to 1981. The house was set about 300 feet from the road. We had trouble with people stopping at the end of the driveway, opening a door and letting out a cat then speeding off. We already had 20-30 cats at any given time. The other problem was people stealing the rare flowers in the grove next to the ditch and a little west of the driveway. I remember seeing one, car comes screeching to a halt, guy runs across ditch with a shovel to get some of those flowers, run back to the car throwing stuff in the car and the wife spins the tires as they leave. I just watched dumbfounded. If they merely drove in and asked my mom she might have said yes you can take some of them. Multiple times people stole from that flower patch. The driveway was on the crest of a hill and multiple times people went into the ditch in the winter time and one of my brothers would pull them out with one of our tractors. Farmers have a different way of thinking than a lot of city folk.
Interesting stories. I just asked a neighbor to dig up some bamboo he has growing out near his ditch by the road. He said sure, I offered to pay him but he said “no sir, you won’t pay me”. They are currently clearing the property near the road for a fence. I suppose he would need to clear the bamboo if we didn’t dig it up, a win win for both parties.
As to the animals, I live in a rural area and we seem to be a destination for dropping off unwanted animals, I have called animal control many times to come pick them up.
A few years ago I had 4 young kittens show up here, I don’t think they were dropped off, they were at the age where mama cat disowns them.
I called animal control and they told me that they don’t pick up cats anymore, only dogs, and that I would need to bring them to the shelter.
I got friendly with the cats, over the next couple of days, so that they would let me handle them, and found a box. Took several hours to get all 4 in the box, had to tape the box up really well as they were escape artists, and drove down to the county shelter.
The lady there told me she couldn’t take them because I hadn’t made an appointment 😡
I told her that I called before and the person I talked to said to bring them there and didn’t mention an appointment, she repeated that she couldn’t take them without an appointment.
I told her, “well, these cats are gonna be your problem because I’m gonna turn them loose in your county and that I would be hard pressed to tangle them into the box again.
I did set them loose but did it at the baseball fields next to a subdivision so they had a chance of being taken in by the people living there.
I didn’t like doing that but I didnt have time to fool with them anymore and I don’t feel bad about it since I tried to do the right thing but the county wouldn’t bend the rules a bit.
For gods sake, I was at the shelter with the cats, just take the damn cats without the appointment.
I feel for you brother. I absolutely cannot stand trash on the ground anywhere. We have the same problem here in Missouri. During my brief time in the military (it was cut short due to health problems) my Master Sargent found a toothpick on the ground and threw a major fit over it. I supported him 100%. Thanks for sharing your video. Take care and God Bless.
I live on a dirt road about 17 miles from the nearest town here in Missouri. I really feel for you as I also spend several hours each week picking up bottles and cans along my frontage. Worst is when the town folks "drop off" their garbage bags.
Gives you something to do.
People have no respect for people's property anymore. 😮💨😮💨😑😑😔😔🤦🤦.
That's because people are not taught respect anymore.
Yea Thay have in mate s here in ga that work on the. Roads

no property belongs to any individual anywhere...country was sold to imf/nato currency masters long ago.
I am also in a rural part of North Carolina.
Dirtbags that drive past the entrance to my small elderberry farm regularly toss trash into the drainage ditch along the edge of the road. Before my home was built there, they would park in the entrance to the driveway and drop their fast food trash, beer cans and bottles, cigarette butts and liquor bottles at the edge of the locked gate. I can't count the number of cans and bottles my wife and I have picked up. We have even pulled a beat up old office chair out of the drainage ditch.
People have no consideration for others or for the land. If I had tried that kind of nonsense when I was young, my father would have whipped my tail, then brought me back to the site to pick up the trash and apologize to the owner.
Take care and God Bless - and Merry Christmas!
I feel you, Josh. I frequently fill a garbage bag with litter along my much smaller property in SC. Many beer and liquor bottles typically, which is a concern by itself. Not sure why these folks think it's acceptable to dump trash - let's keep doing the right thing though and take pride in our properties.
If states like Michigan would put a 10 cent deposit on all cans and bottles there would be a lot less trash on the side of the road. Michigan roads are pretty clean.
They still throw trash out in Michigan bottles and cans
It's getting worse too. Watch for when people start parking on your property to sleep. (It has happened on our property)
It’s corn sack season here in Louisiana.
In Little Canada, MN, there is a trail behind my house that collects litter. Generally, I take the time to collect it and route it accordingly. One time there was broken glass on the trail. I told a public works employee exactly where it was. Ten days later it was still there. I swept it into a bag, and dropped it into the nearest trash can with a strongly worded note attached. Trash problems on the trail have been minimal since.
Have some of the Somalis Minnesota loves pick it up.
When people trespass, cause property damage, dump trash and the like proves one thing: Either their parents were irresponsible at teaching respect for others or the (still) child was too stupid to learn.
Hi Sr . Your farm is beautiful and you keep it very clean. I live in NYC but one day I want to see a farm like yours. Your farm look peaceful . Enjoy and God bless you.
Sorry that happened to you. Maybe you can put a trolling motor on the bathtub and take people on sunset cruises around your pond.
New watering trough. Susie will love it.
Good news is that receipt has the store number and usually the time when the food was ordered. So that can be used to pull camera footage from that specific mcdonald's. I am currently a Corrections Deputy in MI and we have a work release program that Im apart of that cleans roads, storm damage and anything else our county road commission needs help with. Sorry you have to take time out of your busy day to deal with that.. Another great video highlighting problems that can be solved with simple common sense and decency.. Keep up the great work!!
We wear a backpack when walking our dogs. It used to be for carrying the poop bags & water, for them. We upsized the backpack for the Trash we collect. Even along the RR tracks, the trash is everywhere. It’s become a Game to stay ahead of the Trashers.

I really dislike litterbugs. Being a detective with a pretty good case load, I don't often have time to work on litter cases but sometimes when time permits, one of my favorite things to do is to sift through a bag of nasty domestic garbage and pin it down to a particular owner. Having to be thorough, I still have to be sure it was that person who dumped it (We occasionally have bags fall from garbage trucks.) I once found three bags of trash a man dumped into a creek off a little bridge. He admitted it and I wrote him three tickets, one for each bag of garbage. That would have hit him for $500 for each ticket. I told him IF he cleaned it all up and produced receipts where he took it to the land fill, I wouldn't file the citations. He got the three bags but I had told him to clean up the site and haul it all to the landfill. It was a place with a chronic litter issue, from old bicycles etc you name it. When I called him and told him he had failed to get "all" of the litter in that location he wined about it. I told him, it was his choice. $1,500 in tickets or go get the rest of the litter and show me receipts from proper disposal at the land fill which would cost him a few hours and about 25 or 30 dollars to dump at the landfill. He complied. He wound up having to clean up not only his own trash but someone else's The trash at the location was cleaned up for a time anyway. After his little lesson, as promised, I didn't file the citations on him. I figured it was a win for all concerned, even for him. I can only hope (probably in vain) that he did learn a lesson.
Our DOT workers pickup the trash here in ct. the same guys that plow the snow, mow the sides of the highway and do the actual road maintenance. It actually discourages a lot of people from working there because one day you can doing something you’re specialized in, then the next day on the side of the road picking up trash. Merry Christmas!
When I started working in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, I was amazed where you'd find trash thrown out alongside the road. It wasn't the occasional out-the-window version, dumping like you've experienced.
Hey brother, I feel your pain, I had bought a few acres years ago about 30 minutes from where I live. Once I cleared a road and put up a gate and a No Trespassing sign, the dumpong began. First shingles, then it progressed to dead shrimp heads and fish guts, apparently my property used to gave access to a hunt club for the guys to drop their dogs, which they still did by the way. It eventually slowed, but never stopped, it sucks how folks can be so really live up to the name of being trashy. Maybe placing a section of tall chain link along the pond/road buffer behind the street curve signs may help.
Next to your gate and signs, post another one that states : You are ON Camera!
I grew up in the 50's & 60's in a small cotton farming town about 70 miles south of Phoenix, AZ. We had county jail inmates that picked up our trash as they drove down the alleys behind our homes. When I was about 6 yrs. old I was playing in our backyard & there was a very large snake in one of the tree wells. I started yelling at the top of my lungs "Mom snake, Mom snake". The trash crew was just picking up our trash and one of the inmates calmly walked over to the snake picked him up with a shovel & tossed him into the bed of the garbage truck. He said "no worries, it's just a gopher snake, not a rattlesnake". To me that didn't matter much, it was still the biggest snake I had ever seen and it was pretty scary to me.
All I have to say is that Eloy/Picacho are not the same as when you lived there as a kid. Arizona is now California.
@@DIVISIONINCISION Very true, I live in Glendale, but continued to travel down to Coolidge almost monthly for many years to visit my parents. My dad had a burglar break into his home one night through a bedroom window. My dad jumped up grabbed his old Walther's P-38 pistol that he "acquired" in Germany during WWII and yelled out "I got a gun and I'm about to shoot you unless you go out the same way you came in". Needless to say the guy left very quickly. My dad was 95 when this happened. He lived to be 100 yr. 4 mo. He fought in WWII for 3 yrs. and was at Omaha Beach Red (2nd wave) and the Battle of the Bulge. This burglar didn't know who he was messing with! Arizona is rapidly becoming just another liberal democratically controlled state.
I also live in NC. Our fence line at the road gets trashed on quite a bit. Usually fast food bags. Never construction debris lol.
People use the gravel roads along our homestead in Iowa as their personal trash dump. We are constantly picking up trash. Recently, an entire kitchen sink (including the base cabinet) was thrown out along the road. The part that makes me the saddest is the neighboring farmhands are some of the ones throwing out the trash.
Im a heavy equipment operator in western PA work on alot of roads/highways and in the city of Pittsburgh and the amount of trash I see along the roads is actually unbelievable. Also my property borders a state road an hour north of the city and deal with the same thing. The worst part is it ends up in the streams and waterways, however the environmental activists are real quiet about that...
HEY . neighbor .!!! i am up here in DUNKIRK NY area . MERRY CHRISTMAS . !!
I use to drive and down . I 79 as a trucker.
The activists are probably quiet about it for two reasons. Firstly, they may be unaware of the problem. Secondly, and more importantly really, one corporation can do as much environmental damage as ALL of these incidents COMBINED and far worse, so ...
Hi, Sorry you are needing to deal with this foul behavior. Thank you for doing the clean up and initiating the complaint to start the investigations. There maybe a camera at the Mc Ds that the timestamp would identify the purchaser/pot'l litterer. It also maybe cheaper to set up a hunter's camera to document perpetrators of littering etc than a dumpster, just a thought. God's blessings on your fine farming!
We have a serious problem in this country! I live in Pittsburgh, and there are whole neighborhoods that are literally covered in trash and litter!
When did this start to happen, and why?
I go once a week and collect all of the litter on my street. What a huge difference it makes.
When I was first married my husband and I were traveling across country when he threw out the window a gum wrapper! I bitched for several minutes on being a litter bug wasn’t cool!!! He swiftly made a upturn went back approximately the same distance and found something small on the ground, walked back, opened the door and threw the wrapper at me and said there, are you happy?!?! I smiled and said thank you! He never threw out anything again!!!
My county in Georgia makes people who must serve community service pick up the trash on the roads
You are in NC and there are beer bottles scattered around. I would say be on the look out for 3 men that may have been in the tub for a little late night fishing. I would be looking for a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker.

I used to throw my cans hiking but once a month I'd pick them up on the way back home and get three times as much 🤷💵🤩

I'm just going to say it Josh, those people are assholes. The fines for littering should at least $5000.00, that should teach them a lesson. Merry Christmas, God Bless y'all. John V. Michigan
Only the ones throwing the trash never gets caught they blame the homeowners and we'll b the ones paying the fines over and over again!
"...fines for littering should at least $5000...." -- While the outrage is understandable, never, EVER pine for any solution that enriches government. Be careful what you wish for..

I was picking up trash on the farm I had, and found three cases of long neck bottles of bud, now like a good person I drank them for picking up all the trash, Thank You!!!
I live in Coweta county, Georgia, and we do utilize inmate labor to bushhog and clean up our road right-of-ways. I would think the inmates probably enjoy getting out on the nice days and actually accomplish clean up duties. One downside to "open container" laws is that the delinquents who like to drive around imbibing their favorite alcoholic beverage don't want to risk getting stopped with their cans and bottles in their vehicles, so out the windows they go. I pick up their detritus on a daily basis.
I don't find Bud light cans anymore. They used to be the most common thing.
My grandmother used to have a farm in central Texas. When I was a kid we’d drive all the county dirt roads around the farm, me sitting on the tailgate of the truck stopping to clean up the sides of the road. I’d spend a month out there every summer and we’d do that a half dozen times or so and usually had enough aluminum beer cans to fill the entire bed of the truck higher than the roof with full lawn and garden trash bags. I always went home with really good pocket money from the recycler in town.
But it goes to show how much people can suck and just toss their garbage anywhere.
And my mother once found a man who’d been shot dumped still half alive over the fence of my parents ranch in the Hill Country. She tried to save him but he died before the ambulance got there from town.
We bought a farm and in building things it’s unbelievable how much stuff the people who used to live here just buried in the dirt like this was the dump. I think that’s what a lot of farmers did as they just dug a hole and dumped all the garbage in it and covered it up.
Yeah my brother in law did that on his own property, n got a $500 ticket.
Merry Christmas Stony Ridge
I understand you pain, on our property here in Mississippi we have the same problem with people dumping their trash and other undesirables out on the side of the road along our property as well. Drives me crazy, I try and pick up a lot of it but just can't keep up. There is NO respect for others property.
I lived in Surry County NC from 81-83, loved it. Now I'm now in the Rockies, and still love the mountains.
My wife and i lived in eastern TN and it is a common thing to see people throwing trash out on a daily basis all over in town out of town in peoples yards. They just dont give a rats backside. So i feel you. Here i. South Dakota its a different story and they do still use inmates to clean up roadways and ditches. All the best.
Stoney Ridge Farm. When people dump things in your pond if it's steel can you take it to the scrap yard can cash it in. Would it help if you had a camera near the pond maybe you could identify the person. And turn them in to the police. God bless your channel.
You need to DEMAND a fence be placed along the road. They do it for deer safety, the state or county can do it to help slow down this type of dumping. The owner need to place a cell deer camera that is focused on license plates and another camera focused on faces. My property in Ohio is the exact distance it takes to eat a quarter Pounder before tossing the McDonalds bag, samich wrapper and fry container out there window into my yard.
I Wish People Respected other Peoples Property and Nature in general. There are always gonna be the people who dont which is just Sad... You handled it the right way. I hope you dont have anymore problems like this. Much Respect and God Bless You.❤😊
We have had problems with people trespassing & dumping garbage also. They dumped a whole living room set one time, A couch, love seat & a chair. They were people driving across our field to get to a slough. packed our fields terribly. We finally bulldozed the driveway out to help keep them out. I'm from Minnesota & we don't have inmates picking up garbage here either as far as I know.
that tub would make a good cattle water tank
Hey Josh, it stinks that you're dealing with this type of crap. I think I'd put at least a couple high resolution security cameras somewhere that you'll be able to catch images of vehicles, license plates, and perhaps even faces. It would cost some serious money, but once Code Enforcement starts citing people for dumping on your property, the word will get out not to litter and dump on that stretch of road.
Brother. You have a beautiful peace of property! That little clean up was good cardio exercise and took 10 minutes max. My tiny 350 square foot Los Angles apartment takes me 20x longer to clean up because it's like a Rubic's cube. (if I move 1 thing, I have to displace 20 other things.).
In my county in Virginia we pay a company $100's of thousands to pick up trash. Our county has said having inmates do it is crucial and unusual punishment. Trash on the side of the road is a problem every where. We need the Indian with a tear in his eye to do PSA's again. Merry Christmas.

We are living rural. This happens here all the time. People dump their trash, junk, old tires, glass, furniture on my property, in the ditch, side of the road, etc. The worst is the used diapers though. Hundreds of them. Many in bags, Into the ditch water. Soaks and becomes like 30 pounds heavy each. Disgusting to the max, and it's really difficult to clean up.
worst is baby diapers!!! Horrible people that shouldn't be reproducing!
Frustrating to say the least, in my area illegal renovations are so common. Which the next step of the illegal renovation is illegally dumping the waste. So the city has put up cameras to monitor high dump locations.
My option is the fine should be staggering, and on top of that forced to spend hundreds of hours cleaning other dump location up
as a teenager, my ex-husband did this, but had papers with their names and addresses on it, so he got caught. LOL. recently I watched a show in California and the resident said that there is a huge problem now with people using his farmland for a dump and he keeps calling the police, but the police now say that the problem is out of control and they won't do anything about it anymore. Here in Oregon I have recently seen prison road crews. sorry you have to go through that, you have a beautiful farm.
Can you fit a camera on the edge of your pond to catch the culprits?
@@HurairahHomestead no, if you listened he was complaining that the rubbish dumping happens all the time.
I use to be from where you are Stoneville NC born lived there 47 years but moved to thebeautiful blue ridge mountains of southern Va 3 years ago
It is frustrating! Someone keeps dumping their crap in the alley behind my house and the City keeps showing up at my house to blame me! Last time I threw garbage in the bin in the alley a homeless person was sitting up against my fence. No matter where you move to there's always something!
Have you tried planting willows? You could plant them pretty thick through there.
willows......very invasive "weed" tree that we're actually trying to eradicate from the farm
That's an aggravation, here in Indianapolis litter is/was a community service function.
I deal with litter constantly. Once while picking up litter along the road, someone stopped dropped their trash in the middle of the street, waited until I seen it then took off 😂
Drunk drivers hit the fence or poles, broken glass and mirrors, getting that cleaned up so the flock, especially the turkeys don't eat the little pieces of glass. I am pretty sure that is what killed my big thanksgiving bird, Jive Turkey 😞

You should not have thrown that receipt away. It has a time stamp on it. You can take that receipt back to the store and they can go over their in-store surveillance tapes and give you a picture of the person that received that receipt.
Leland Cypress. They grow fast. They will grow in that little strip near the road. They build a wall if you plant them close enough to one another. They will create a barrier so drivers are not so tempted to try and hit the pond with the trash, and do so in a way that keeps a very nice looking landscape on your property.
You might be able to use that McDonald's receipt and get the date/time of the order, which, combined with any McDonald's video that Code Enforcement might be able to obtain could catch those rascals. Video footage should be allowed (in my non-lawyer opinion) as a crime was committed, even though it wasn't on McDonald's property (contributory evidence?). Hope this helps you catch those litterbugs. JD
Sadly, I doubt they will take the time to do it.
Clark County Ohio has inmates clean the roadways and deposit the litter they gather in plastic bags and deposit them along the roadway and someone picks them up and I guess puts them in the landfill. This helps keep our roadways clean, greatly appreciated.
I am on the other side of the country in Washington state. People in my area will not just throw cans and bottles out, but will throw bags of trash and couches and recliners. I have had people throw tires out of a moving vehicle because they were strewn for a half-mile. We even occasionally have a travel trailer or motorhome abandoned. Some people truly are just pigs.
sounds like my road in Missouri
Same here, we have a small farm in King, NC with several hundred feet of frontage that we keep mowed so it will look nice and neat by the road. Every time we mow we're having to keep stopping and pick up the trash.
Common problem here in the UK, doesn't matter where you live, town, city or out in the sticks, people have lost all sense of decency.

@@malachi-, It does not have anything to do with new immigration.

Time to put up a couple of game cameras..
If a new receipt the customer # should coincide with camera footage. Possibility ?
Bud Light bottle, that says it all for the type of person that discarded the beer bottle in the pond.
A beer drinker?
yes a fruitloop beer drinker.@@drmino88
Yeah and that tub is probably also a trailer tub because it looks like the way it's designed looks like it's from a tub that was in a trailer bathroom
Looks to me like it might have just blown off a passing vehicle. Could be an honest mistake or it could be on purpose. I counted at least three cars passing by why you were collecting it. If you really want to catch the people I suggest a few hidden cameras. If all the small items were inside the tub I can see that being launched. If you can pick up the tub with one hand it cannot weigh much.
Very doubtful. if it was scattered all along that guardrail, maybe. But all being in one spot, I'm pretty sure it was dumped by some a$$hat turning a trash trailer into an AirBnb thinking they can make a fortune. Happens on the dead end road that my cabin is on all the time. Don't want to pay the $25 a load to dump it at the town dump. Kind of ironic...trailer trash dumping trailer trash.
To you and your family, Have a very merry Christmas and all the best for 2024.
Code enforcement was just fishing for an excuse to come on the property to try and find an offense to extort money from you.
Wa. I know how frustrating this is. We, 4 houses, had a neighbor dump a truckload of garbage on our common driveway. County said we needed 3 pieces of trash with their names on it to be able to prosecute. I had 2 receipts that told me who they were and where they live. 2 doors down.
Possibly the bath is not deliberate: Could be that contractor didn't secure the trash in the back of his truck and it blew off around the corner. Of course that is a misdemeanor.
You might be able to find the culprit using that McD receipt since there is a order # and time stamp on it. Probably would need to get code enforcement to check it for you. If you do find out, send them a bill for the clean up!
is the MCD receipt with a fill out the survey and buy one get one free offer?
Where I live “loosing your load” is a First Time offense of $10K if your a contractor hauling anything. If you a person in a car and you toss a lit cigarette is go see the judge max 1k dollar ticket first offense and a single beer can is a $111 dollar fine. Our highways are almost spotless illegal trash dumps are mostly gone. ✌️
$111.00 is cheaper than a dui or impared, still not good.@@PuFFerTV98368
Yeah right, if things blow off a car they don’t end up all together like that they would have been over a stretch of road. Plus it would have to be a very bad contractor who didn’t secure his load of trash at all.
@@pienuniek Its happens. A bunch can fly off at once, & quickly fall to the ground. I seen it happen a few times behind a vehicle loaded with junk.
What the fudge!! Well at least this time the case was not against you Bro!! Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas! 💕🙏🏼
That's nice, you can use it for water storage for the cows!😎💙👍🎄
Use the shower insert to build a "no-dumping trash ~ cultivating farm" sign posted right at that corner before the pond ~ "if you dont want to eat it, then don't dump it here" ~ aim high Airman \m/
I had a renter who was a painter who threw the paint cans in apartment dumpsters. I also had a renter who when he moved there was a least 20 tires in the back yard. I got rid of the tires when i went by a garage and their was a truck full of 100's of tires and the owner said i could put them on the truck and he did not charge me.
I just moved to Oklahoma and haven't seen any road crews around. I lived in Calloway County Kentucky in 2022 and they do have road crews that do clean up the roads and sometimes do painting of city and county properties.
We have a small farm in Iowa. We have to collect the garbage other folks leave behind. The land fill is only a couple of miles away. But, we have to do it for them.
Hey at least the bath tub was plastic and not a ceramic one! Nice clean up work Josh, I am with you, people need to to grow up and stop litterning!
Beware. Owner is permitted to target practice on his property. Anyone trespassing should get medical insurance. You have been warned.
From south-central New Mexico. Just like in the western movies. There is broken glass and debris pretty much everywhere. Occasionally I pull a small utility trailer behind my 4 wheeler with a couple of trash barrels & go throughout the area community to pickup trash, bottles, etc. Amazing how much trash I can collect. Thankfully, as a county resident, there is a central trash collection point where I can get rid of pretty much anything at no cost. I end up being a frequent visitor there. On rare occasions, people think that the long empty stretches of county highways are best suited to dispose of appliances and other bulk trash. On those occasions, a call to the county DPW results in them sending out a couple of guys in a truck to collect the trash.
I once owned a bare lot near the Salton Sea. The neighbor on my East property line installed a new fence. Requiring much trimming of trees and shrubs. All of those trimmings and the previous fence waste was thrown onto my property. Without even an attempt to hide its origin. I recieved notice from code enforcement to clean it up. Which cost me a weeks pay to hire it done. Prior to the clea up I contacted code enforcement and met them at the property. They agreed with me that obviously the neighbor was responsible for the mess. But without a witness they would not persue the matter. I knew the problem would continue and had no plans to develop the property so sold it.
Stoney Ridge Security. Has a good ring to it!!!
Last summer I went for a Sunday drive in north central Washington. I had a camera and a camera drone. I drove down along the Okanogan River just north of town and pulled into a turnout along the river hoping to get a nice shot looking up river. Got everything ready and stepped over to the bank. Between me and the river were three truck tires, a bunch of car parts, a party canopy, an old barbecue and miscellaneous trash, at least a full pickup load. It WAS a beautiful spot, but spoiled by someone's laziness. I took pictures of the trash and posted them on the community Facebook page. The result was, a community cleanup along the river, and the county came along and built a 4 foot tall berm along the river to make dumping trash much more difficult. (The did still leave room to pull off the road)
Before anyone says, "why didn't you...", I am 72, arthritic and I was driving a car.
Turn the bath tub into a worm bin. Set in woods near your home to put food scraps and greens in it. Keep drain open on bottom and a board over the top. You will have worms move in and they will always be able to grab worms for fishing or compost for gardening.
A little recycle reuse tip
Bathtubs do float. Gotta plug the drain of course. As wild kids we actually tried this in our stock pond. And it was cast iron claw foot. It barely floated though. Costs money to go to landfill so people throw it in the ditch. Happens to me often
I live in a rural area along a major two lane highway in western Kentucky. People are all the time throwing trash into the ditch in front of our house, that I keep mowed, that I have to pick up and dispose of. Lived here 25 yrs. and it hasn’t gotten any better. People are very inconsiderate of property of others.
Merry Christmas n happy new year
Hi Josh, maybe consider installing cameras around the pond, all it takes is catching just one litter bug, and the word will get out there, maybe no littering signs.
Josh can you mount another camera? If this is a constant thing consider an extra camera. We are in Lunenburg Co Va. and have road gangs. I was a CO at Tazewell Correctional Unit and we had 4 gangs we sent out daily. That was years ago. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🎅❤️God bless🙏
