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

I always wonder why do we have so much trash but other cities in the US do not?

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

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.

"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.

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.
