I've lived in 3 states. Have probably driven in 30ish and I've never seen roads as trashy as these. Everywhere there is litter. Bags of trash just sitting on the side of the road. Go on any stretch of highway in this state. Full of litter.

Last week someone left a mattress and three bags of trash. Like they pulled over and just left whatever was in the back of their truck about 2 miles east of Lake Charles. There is constantly fields of trash everywhere on the stretch between Lafayette and Lake Charles.

I know of a couple people that actively litter and it's the "trashiest" and most classless thing any person can do.

The State seems to have some crews working to clean them up but they can't even keep up with all this garbage.

Get it together Louisiana.

It’s generational. No respect for self, neighbors or the land they live. Trash breeds trash.

I remember tossing a coke can out the car window as a young Baw. My dad yanked the car off the side of road. Whipped my arse and made me walk back until I could find the can.

I don’t litter any more.

Once you start looking for the mattresses- you see them everywhere.

Apparently in BR it is appropriate to throw your fast food bags under you car when stopped at a traffic light.

It isn’t unique to Louisiana. Florida is covered thanks to all the undesirables drifting in.

Littering is celebrated here in Louisiana.

Mardi Gras centers around throwing trash on the ground and expecting someone else to come in afterwards and pick it up. And it’s celebrated, enabled and encouraged.

You don't think I'm gonna have my whip smell like cigarettes, do you?

You can afford to just toss a mattress on side of the road with Mattress Mack running 70% off 3 for 1 mattress sales every holiday

I actually think a lot of it flys out of garbage trucks and isn’t just people tossing trash out of their windows as the drive.

I thought it was only Louisiana but was in Houston this weekend and noticed it’s everywhere around there too. All along the interstate in Texas after you enter from Louisiana. It was just as bad, if not worse at the intersections and along the highways in TX. I think it’s bad everywhere down South. BR is actually so much better now that we have KTTB. They have helped so much.

In my 53 years I've seen 85% blacks throwing trash out of their windows and 15% white trash. That's my honest observation

You want me to keep my used dip cups in my truck and stink it up?

Have you been to California, specifically the Bay Area? My wife is from there and it is insane compared to here.
