I try to pick up trash when I can...it's a little tougher to bring myself to pick up other people's dog waste but I try to do that too. I see at least one piece of trash every time I walk a trail. Show Less

not every time. heck, I'd be doing nothing else! but at least some of it.

Ka San

Yes, constantly at dog parks. Mainly because I have a poop -eating dog and I don't want her to be ingesting poop from a diseased or sick animal. Or even a healthy one, truth be told. Yuk!

Ann Harbert Evensen

Trash yes. Dog waste no.

Andy West

Not every time, but several.

Richard Dillard

Yes I always try and pick up the trash when I see it. I am not able to pick up the larger items like mattress and box springs. I do not understand people. The dump is not that expensive.

I've seen waste on trails, but don't think it's my responsibility to pick it up -- especially other people's dog waste! People should pick up after themselves or face a fine.

I shouldn’t have to clean up someone else’s dog dropping because the owners are careless.

Jodi Dwyer

If you have a dog you should be responsible and pick it up. No excuses!

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
