Tried of Slob Hunters and Their Garbage

Sixty years ago we all had a different outlook to garbage. Boats discharged sewage into the water and felt good if it went thru a macerater first. We were told to pierce both ends of our tins before they went overboard in deep water. Hunt camps, lumber camps etc would have a low spot to dump garbage.
We lived in Scarborough, north of Finch, east of 48 and each Saturday I had to take the garbage " out back" with the tractor and dump it in a gulley. As I travel thru different farms up here I often find trash piles, from the 60's and 70's, but these are in spots chosen by the landowner.....where they are out of the way.
What throws me is when I four wheel back into a campsite on a lake and find that someone has carried a toilet or couch into the otherwise pristine spot....

I'll stand behind these words too.
I learned from a very young age to never litter. If I did I was sent back by mom or dad to pick it up. If I refused I got smacked. Todays generation has this sense of entitlement and lack of respect for authority. Its only going to get worse.

I had cafeteria supervision as a teacher in a high school. You should see a high school caf after the kids are done "eating'! You're right it's not going to get better. They look at you like you have two heads when you politely say "pick that up please and put it in the garbage pail (6-8 ft away)". Answer 9 out of 10 times - "It's not mine!"

I wonder what there homes look like?

It's been an unfortunate past time of mine these days, going out hunting or fishing and end up picking up other people's garbage. No one group is better or worse for it, I find and clean it up all 4 seasons. I draw the line at people's feces and torn underwear or socks as wipes on the ice.
Yes, a great many people suck.

How many thousands of inmates are there in Ontario?? They should be put to work.

Oh,but,that's not allowed. It's "cruel and unusual punishment". The Ontario Human Rights Commission says so.

Which is very unfortunate, if it was up to me, there would also be a lot of welfare abusers put to work helping clean up some areas.

Pack it in. Pack it out.

I'm always disappointed to see things like this.
Whenever hiking and my two friends and i find trash at the campsite it always gets packed out by us if we can fit it.
I'm truly amazed sometimes about what people will bring with them and leave at a campsite 40-60km into an interior trail system.
Though the ones that are usually the worst, are the first few into the trail system. It's short enough people can drag coolers of beer and food to the site, but then not take the effort to pack out empty bottles cans or food containers/wrappers.
I think most of the time it has to do with pure laziness.

This disrespect for our resources pisses me off to no end.


I was on a road called Dyno rd one a Sunday morning. Came around a bend and there was a mini van stopped at the side and I saw bag of garbage being thrown into the ditch, as I pulled over and came to a stop about 50 feet behind them, saw 2 more bags had been thrown out. By this time they saw me and the driver came out and started to walk towards me.

I'm a amateur radio operator and had been talking to a friend on my mobile radio, he was at his home. I had raised him again and asked him to take down the mini vans license and description. As the driver came closer I rolled down my window and continued to give the details of the van and now the description of the fellow coming towards me all so that he could hear.

I can't recall all that was said but he did ask where the nearest dump was and I did make a comment it wasn't the side of the road. As this was going on 2 others from the van had loaded the 3 bags back in the van, they new they had been caught. I told him where the dump was and to follow me as a had to go there myself. They followed me down Hwy 28, I turned in to the dump and they kept going. I told the fellow at the dump what had just happened and he wanted all the information so I gave it to him, don't know whatever happened after that.
If this ever happened again I would be on the phone (now that I have a cell phone) to the police and let them handle it. I was too nice to these ????

They probably would have got to the dump and found that they could NOT leave their garbage without a dump card.....proving that they were from that township...

Not sure if "cityods" is a fair statement. I live in the city and never leave so much as a trace of my campsite behind. Not everyone from the city is a total douchebag.
