Feb. 26, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: Am I alone in being disgusted at all the trash seen along our roads in Rockbridge County? I live in the southern end of the county, and it is unbelievable. Why do people do this? Can they not leave a few cans or bags in their car until they get home? Can truck drivers not tie down garbage bags of waste until they get to a place to dump it?
I wish police would pick up some of this garbage, get DNA and then take the people to court where they could be fined, and possibly made to pick it up along roadsides for a period of time. (I can remember when prisoners did have to do this.)
Come on, people - appreciate your surroundings. Don’t attract wildlife to the roads to then be killed, and don’t foul our beautiful natural landscape found here!
