Short rant: Another popular littering season. [View all]

[634-5789]

So, I've been an IDOT volunteer for 21 years, spend almost everyday picking up an area approximately 20 miles, which is actually 60 miles,left side, right side, medians. I've seen everything. Trends have been thrown out paperbacks, to VHS tapes and cassettes, to DVDs and earphones to phones. Now, it's vape pipes and fireball bottles, and those oversized gas station styrofoam 60 ounce drink containers...and straws.....those damned straws....

But something has me concerned...lately, I have been seeing a serious uptick in KINDER wrappers, you know, those little toys with a little treat inside wrappers and juice boxes / bags. Adults aren't throwing these out the window, it's kids. Toddlers, and somebody in that vehicle needs to stop this behavior. And report littering. I have no one to take my place and at 70 with a knee concern, the miles are starting to show. Thanks for reading.
