Driving around Charlotte today, mostly on I-77 down towards 485 and Tyvola area it seems as if the high winds are just magnifying the trash problem we have in this area. It's amazing to me that we can't do something about the amount of trash floating around this city. Maybe a campaign or increased vigilance by the public to report offenders would be helpful.

I just wish people would take personal responsibility and not litter in the first place. People who trash up our environment on purpose are trashy themselves in my book!
I noticed this the other night before the thunderstorms. The news had been talking about it for days and many of my neighbors put out their recycling bins at 5pm that night. Sure enough most of them tipped over and the trash ended up all over the place.
EXACTLY!!! Just thinking is the best solution. I see those trash trucks with stuff blowing out of them all the time. People putting stuff in the back of pickup trucks unsecured is another thing I see.
What are the prisoners doing? Can't we put them on trash patrol? Maybe we can bring back chain gangs.

Actually, some counties are using prisoners to clean up the roads/ medians. I think it is a worthwhile use of manpower.
I never see people tossing trash out of vehicles. Have not seen that in maybe what - 25 years? Has anyone else? Do people do all the "secret dumping" from car windows at nite? And why? I just don't understand it at all.
My trashcans have been blown over on the ground all day. No trash escaped.
