      It's not laziness. I grew up in an area where dumping like this happened. It was pretty much just poverty and the fact that people couldn't afford to pay for garbage service. When the choice is between paying for garbage service and your children having food and diapers, most people will just choose to dump. Garbage service should be free for all, otherwise we will always face this sort of dumping behavior.

But people are either too lazy, don't care or don't think it's their problem. And it's really sad. We cleaned up by the riverfront and playground the other day. Someone asked me why. Asked them what looked better. Trash everywhere or cleaned up. They walked awa6

      Exactly what I was thinking. I live in Oklahoma where we have sand and red dirt. When we find black soil, that someone is about to haul off to a landfill, we take it home for planting in our gardens. Best soil around. I actually have some in my yard, under my big tree, where there is also tons of worms. I discovered the black soil, just after I bought this house, while edging my driveway. I'm going to just plant flowers there because taking up too much would start showing the tree feeder roots. Have a blessed day 😊

    I clean my neighborhood every day when I'm out walking my dog. There's an area a block or so outside my neighborhood that is always so dirty with trash all in the gutters and yards. I started making an effort to clean it up little by little every week. I'm making progress, but it's a lot of work. It's terrible how people don't care. I keep hoping they will see how good it looks cleaned up and continue my work.

    This was the worse trash I have seen. You pick up trash, blow, pickup more trash. Weed whack, pick up more trash. Mow, pick up more trash. Blow again and pick up more trash. Absolutely crazy. Biggest transformation I have seen you do. You must have felt great to see the sidewalk reviled. Beyond excellent back breaking work. ❤❤

    Edit 1: Michigan sidewalks are twice as wide as sidewalks in both Arkansas and Missouri. 👀
    Edit 2: As a former landscaper and professional lawnmower, I salute your hard work and dedication. The amount of time and effort spent doing things correctly and methodically are both noticed and appreciated.

Why do they throw their trash on someone’s property? Don’t they have garbage service? How come the city allows it? Crazy to me. Great job! Thank you Sean for caring about your community!

I applaud your commitment and desire to make our hometown areas a cleaner, safer, beautiful area to live in. How NICE the neighbor offered his dumpster! So glad you trimmed the trees.

    I would like to point out that some (not all) of the trash is a direct result of cities going to a one man trash service using a one arm bandit and the driver never leaves his seat and what doesn't make it into the truck is at the mercy of the wind, neighborhoods with vacant lots don't get picked up and the trash accumulates. The beauty of what Sean, (or anyone else...hint, hint) does is it makes people think twice before throwing something out of their car window, it's human nature unfortunately that if someone sees a trashed out area they have no qualms about throwing their trash out the window.

    bricks, and many thanks to the neighbor who rented a dumpster and let me use it!

    Great transformation of this property Midlife! Do neighbors ever offer to help. Sometimes neighbors want to clean up but are overwhelmed by the project.
    At first glance, the lot seemed endless but made just for you. I remember the transformations where you went way beyond the property lines of your picks to edge, mow or pick up trash of the neighboring properties!
