Littering

[BParson03]

I was just wondering what your thoughts are on littering, and if perhaps any of you do it to keep your truck clean?

[pauls heating &]

nope..i use a small waste can between seats

[coolwhip]

What kind of stupid question is that? Do you think us to be simpletons and just throw our fast food trash out the window?

Do you drive to work or bring your lunch?

[dandyme]

apparently you never seen the inside of my van.................:playing:



which reminds me, I really need to tyr and locate the accelerator :tussor::gah:

After sweeping up cigarette butts at a commercial rental property I wish the cops would start giving tickets out for that instead of all the BS traffic tickets the write. But that would require an original thought

I've got one for ya.

My wife got a letter from the Texas DPS, informing her that she was seen throwing a cigarette butt out her window. They gave the hundred block,street name, and time of day the offense occurred.
No ticket though.
True story.

Just put a 5-gallon bucket between the seats and empty it day-to-day. It hold alot of garbage and doesn't take up too much room in my E-150 or E-350.

I kept a fair sized garbage can in front of the passenger seat and emptied it into a dumpster at my customer's, commercial retail customers, when necessary. I also cleaned trash out of the rest of my truck weekly and put it into the can at my house for disposal.

Yeah, really, that is a top 5 five stupid question in here, and there have been loads of stupid ones for sure.
You win some kind of award for that one.

I stop at deli's and convenience stores a lot for beverages during the day. I fill the plastic bags they give me with trash till they're full and then tie them closed and pull up to the nearest dumpster to dispose of them.

But...I live and work in a rural area. I'm not against throwing a banana peel, apple core, or something similar out of the window. I just make sure it goes out into the field or into the woods.

Are you really asking us if we throw our trash out the window?

Is this a trick question?

I never litter ... ever.


I have posted here before about the parking lot at my shop. They clean this lot three times a week, yes three times a week. The next day you can not tell it was cleaned, it is amazing what pigs people are. It cuts across social lines, rich or poor there are plenty of slobs. A week ago someone dumped their cars complete interior mess onto the parking lot. It must have taken them ten minutes, just unbelievable how much trash. I have "talked" to people I see doing it and most have no shame. There are waste containers available and conveniently placed, it does not matter. The slobs can't walk five extra feet and place the trash in the waste containers. Instead they throw the stuff at... not in the containers.

Ummm ... I'm confused ... I thought you were a simpleton ... so are you saying you are not?

Oh, remember to roll the window down first...:LOL:

Up to a 200.00 fine in our city for tossing out a cigarette butt....

Reminds me of that movie...where Billy Crystal goes to spit gum out the window and the window is up.:LOL:

[amickracing]

I never litter intentionally. I've occasionally had a piece of paper blow out of the van, and all be danged if I'm going to chase it when it's windy as heck out.

I was at the c-store the other day, standing talking with a friend in the parking lot. As we stood there some lady (nice looking too) came out with a pack of cigarettes (well, there went the good looking), sitting in her car, she opens the top (paper and plastic part), and just toss's it out the window. I swear some people need to be slapped.

Even on bigger job sites it seems rare to find one that's clean with out garbage all over in the lot and building. I read on here some where that the European (?) job sites are known to be some of the cleanest around because they actually take pride in their site being clean. That'd sure be nice here!
