Actually, I might suggest that you have a much better sample of the litterbugs of Huntington, rather than the people of Huntington!

One interesting thing to me is that you would ever find pop or beer cans on the side of the road. Here in BC when you buy bottled or canned beverages, you pay a $.05 to $0.10 fee on each bottle or can. You get the fee back when you return the container to an approved recycling facility. You would be amazed at how efficiently this works. It might not keep people from throwing their beer cans out their car windows, but there are plenty of people who make a (rather basic) living by picking up and returning the containers.

Now, if you were finding busted up Mecanums and burned out Victors along the side of the road... THAT would be worrying!

Be careful out there. Traffic is like cattle, stupid as can be and every now and then it needs a kick to get it going in the right direction

The INDOT will not allow anyone in the median to pick up trash. They are afraid that if someone looses control, of their vehicle, they will go through the median.

To show you what a difference trash pick-up can make.
The first time we did this it took us 7 hours. The second time it took 3 hours.
