“Ihave lived in SC for about 20 years now. I have over a mile of paved road bordering my home property. At a stop sign, and along the road, I see a continual barrage of cans, bottles, fast food bags, etc. Although fines and penalties are high, I have yet to hear of one person caught littering. The police completely ignore the issue as being beneath their dignity. There is the problem.”
What a shame. Does your state have groups that volunteer to adopt a section of road? We even have that in Alaska. A business, or group, or even individuals, adopt a mile of road and clean up the litter that others have created.
It is difficult to catch those that litter. They don’t usually do it when someone is looking. But if someone sees them they definitely should at least report it.
First let me say you will be heartily welcomed to SC. People generally are very friendly but the native born southerners will consider you to be a Yankee forever. Not a real problem and makes for some good laughs. If you move to the beach areas you wont find many southerns. Nor the south suburbs of Charlotte. The rest of the state is deep south overall.
As for the litter, small sections of roads are adopted but for the most part not. Its mostly the poor, and a lot of poor are in SC, who pitch their trash all over. As long as they arent fined, it will continue.
