Who's Responsibility Is It?

It seems as common courtesy for some, as in pick up your own trash, does not exist in some areas.

It's too bad people are so inconsiderate that they litter. I don't think I have ever littered, but I've certainly picked up plenty of it. I remember my Mom going out to pick up pop cans along the roadsides to turn in for money when we were kids.

Good morning, Bob... fortunately trash that's not mine is not something I've ever had to deal with. Your post reminded me of a client whose home I listed and which was flanked by two homes that did not do a great job of keeping their lawns mowed. So until we closed, she mowed her lawn and the two lawns on either side of her. To this day she laughs about what the new owners thought after they moved in and didn't see manicured lawns on either side of them.

The World may have been perfect until the creation of man.  Humans are one HELL of a species - thankfully the Good offsets the not-so-good.  I will leave it at that Bob "RealMan" Timm

Good morning Bob,

It always makes my blood boil when I see people litter! Its so disrespectful of others and where we live.

I like this cartoon and your narrative. One of the biggest issues these days is people using others trash barrels to drop their doggy poop bags into or just leaving the bags on the side of the road.

Hi Bob- sadly man is not perfect and we certainly have made a mess of it, haven't we!

I am so disgusted with how inconsiderate people are, I grew up that you throw trash in the trash bucket, and it used to drive me crazy seeing people toss garbage from their cars and the list goes on and on.... so you can imagine how I feel living in Los Angeles now with all the homeless encampments all over the street and they are living in their filth...Endre

It makes no sense for people to litter, especially when there is a trash can nearby, which I have seen people litter instead of using, haha.

Hello Bob.  I am with you regarding the cigarette butt's.  I hate the habit in and of itself but then to see the butts tossed randomly does upset.  I do try to make a habit of when walking into a store if there is trash on the lot I will pick of a piece or two and throw in the trash on my way in.  Our office area parking I am very diligent of.  The landlord keeps such a nice building for us I want to give what help I can.  It turns out that in either case if it takes an extra 15 or 30 seconds I would be surprised.  m 

I go out for a walk every day. I have several routes I walk. It is amazing how much litter I see in so many yards! Just pick it up, homeowner. Even if some unknown slacker left it in your yard. It is your yard. Keep it looking nice!

And, yes, it is super annoying that someone would just toss trash into your yard.

Condo living in the city means that buildings have a porter to clean up the sidewalk and common areas of the building. My neighborhood is trialing an experiment with having city provided trash bins with daily trash pickup (to minimize rats) - and I have to say the experiment is working with cleaner sidewalks, less rats, and more room on the sidewalks to get around. An added plus is that we aren't receiving fines from the city anymore for random garbage on the sidewalk- which could include something as simple as a plastic bag that's been floating in the wind and lands a moment before the sanitation team arrives at the property- which I have personally witnessed a $100 fine being issued for such nonsense.
