That hasn't really happened too much in America since the 19th and early 20th century in American cities.

Boston had packs of pigs that roamed the streets that would clean up and consume consume garbage back in the day, but that was all bio-degradable food waste. It wasn't plastic, tech parts, etc. it was food scraps and waste.

Yes it most certainly has. I posted the commercial from 1970 of an native American crying about litter. I am also from NJ but am older so I do remember the litter and this commercial.

Where I live, when we owned our house, illegals moved into the community and created flophouses. Once we got overrun with illegals, the amount of litter in the streets and sidewalks increased quite a bit.

We even had a house where 3 Hispanic people bought it and promptly created a flophouse. They bought drywall and made illegal bedrooms in the basement. Also, they made sure that the excess vehicles weren't parked right by their house. After they moved in, we noticed that they weren't putting any trash out for pickup. It turned out that they were piling bags of trash in the backyard. Their next door neighbors, who were legal immigrants from South America, were the ones who reported the backyard situation. They were angry that this was going on right next door to them.

As for people who don't properly sort recyclables --- now where we live, we have trash rooms on each floor. So many times when we go to throw out our trash and recyclables, I find things in recycling that should be in the trash. Believe it or not---one day someone threw a bag of eggshells in the recycling. Never mind that every kitchen has a disposal.

File your complaint with SAG. I'm sure they can re-do the commercial with culturally appropriate actors.

No complaint from me, I just think it's funny.

Ok??? Is there a point being made here somewhere?

I am well aware of what you stated, just not sure how it's relevant.

I don't recall a time when littering was not associated with low class people and Third World countries.

Littering has always been unacceptable. Littering is self indulgent and disrespectful to your fellow man and our environment.

No offense, but that means nothing. People today still litter, that's why there is litter on the highways, but most normal people don't willingly throw their trash out the window.

No?
