Litterbugs Could Be Costing Themselves Jobs

Dumping Litterbugs could be costing themselves jobs
ShareTweetEmail

Litterbugs could end up costing themselves a good job. Scioto County Commissioners addressed the problems of dumping on county roadways at Thursday’s meeting.

Commissioner Bryan Davis says he understands that citizens are frustrated but that Lawrence Scioto Solid Waste Management Divison (LSSWMD) is fighting an uphill battle.

According to LSSWMD, on January 11 they collected 32 bags of litter as well as assorted auto parts from Hammerstein Road. Just two weeks later on the 29, they went back and picked up 41 bags of fresh litter as well as several tires. The following day, 64 bags of garbage and six more tires appeared.

Commissioner Davis says that while it is frustrating to residents along heavily littered roads, LSSWMD has 600 miles of road to look after and can’t just concentrate on one or two spots. “The task is daunting at best, even though we have two crews going out on almost a daily basis. When you clean up a road like Hammerstein that’s back in the same condition in a month, it’s a problem.”

He said work release crews have been working hard to keep heavily traveled roads clear but nothing will change if people don’t take personal responsibility for their own garbage and stop dumping. He says garbage by the side of the road is especially damaging for an area working hard to bring in new business. “When someone comes to visit our community looking to build a business and they see the trash, it reflects poorly on our community.” He went on to say that people dumping trash could actually be costing themselves a good job by driving away business.

He encouraged citizens to report dumpers to the police and to also call out people they know who dump trash. “Littering is not stopping. People are dumping. We need people to stop.”
