One reason is that there are a lot of slobs that just don't care about cleaning up their own trash.
Another reason people dump in the UL area is because many people live in the county and rather than pay the $17.00 (?) dump fee at the Payson City landfill, they sneak out somewhere along the shoreline of UL, often at night, and dump their trash in any convenient spot.
Another reason is that some fishermen feel no need to clean up after themselves in a remote area like UL. And then there are the partiers who leave all of their trash, especially drink cans and bottles when the party is over.
The one bright spot in the area is the development of Lincoln Beach. There was a time when that area was reserved for beer busts, fist fights, wild parties, and body dumping (both animal and human). Still, there are slobs who continue to trash even that area. I talked to the camp host at Lincoln last year and he said people would not believe the kinds of trash he had to deal with even in the camping and launching area.
All can be summed up as slobs who just don't give a damn.
Sad indeed.
