Why is there so much trash everywhere in BR and NOLA (and Louisiana in general)?

i see garbage everywhere and it pisses me off how lazy people are. and it also gets in my front yard and yes i do my part by picking it up too (not just in my yard but elsewhere)
I always wonder why do we have so much trash but other cities in the US do not?

Lazy politicians. Houston has become just as bad.

It pisses me off every time I get home from work there’s a water bottle or a soda can discarded in my front yard.

Culture. For some reason people think the government will take care of it. Often times, there's trash dumped right by the trash can.

Drive in Houston proper anywhere southside of downtown, you'll say otherwise.

A lot of it comes from commercial roll-offs.

someone straight up dumped a huge pile of old tires on the airline service road between Alco and cedarcrest. They’ve been there a week now

you bet your arse that if I dumped a bunch of tires, there'd be cops at my door in 30 minutes.

I believe that used tires are being brought to dump in Baton Rouge from other states, Midnight Dumpers.

Kids learn it from Mardi Gras and St. Patricks day parades.
In a moving vehicle = Okay to throw out.

Umm...No not really?
I have been doing both of those since i was a baby and i frown upon it. or seeing the parents do it makes them do it.
But you have a point

This is not true at all. Have you never been to LA or NY?
Also, some cities do this thing where they fine you for trash or not having your trash in bags.
In Baton Rouge and Nola, that would be racist.

'Colorado Can Do Better': Trashy Highways Getting Worse
quote:
The beauty of Colorado is one of the major reasons why Mike McGuirk and his family call the state home, but lately there's one view he can't seem to stand.
quote:
"Food wrappers, plastic bags, you'll see different foams, like polystyrene foams," McGuirk said.
McGuirk says the amount trash along the sides of interstates and highways is unavoidable and appearing to get worse. He sees it every day commuting along U.S. 6, as well as other parts of the metro area.
So no matter how much people want to bitch about trash down here, it is everywhere.
quote:
CDOT is the agency that handles debris and trash cleanup along interstates, as well as state and U.S. highways. According to Presley Fowler, a CDOT spokesperson, teams within the maintenance department are seeing an increase in littering.
"If you look at the numbers, you do see an increase in debris calls, costs, and pickups we're having to do from year to year," Fowler said.

I can't remember the last time I've seen someone throw trash out the car window, but I consistently see trash blow out the top of moving garbage trucks.
