Suggestions-Thoughts on Litter

[leechman]

Years ago Oregon, Washington, California and many other states imposed deposit frees on beverage containers. In my travels I have the opportunity to frequently fish Oregon and Washington. No beverage containers along the bank, none in the parking lots and none along the roads. It works. Perhaps a deposit on fountain soda cups and styrofoam worm containers would produce the same results. Those of us that don't need a financial incentive to pick things up pick things up, and we don't leave things for others to pick up. I think a financial penalty/incentive is the only effective way to reach those that do litter. If nothing else, it can provide an incentive for some who might not otherwise pick things up.
