Litterbutt.Com

Just thought I would share this website. I get very annoyed as
cigarettes go bouncing off my windshield or get tossed on the ground
next to me at a traffic light. Texas is a participating state with
Litterbutt.Com. If you spot a litterer just note the license plate and
submit it on the website with the incident specifics. The offender is
reported to Texas DOT and they send a no-litter reminder letter with
the incident specifics and a car trash bag. I don't know if it will
help, but maybe some of these folks will take a hint.

Everyone I know that smokes is quite courteous about such things. In fact
one friend will field strip a cigarette and then put the remains in his
pocket to toss away later if no trash can is around. I think a month of
picking up those damn things along the highway would be a better form of
punishment. Something that would really help discourage that type of
attitude.
However a sending the person a plastic sack to throw a hot cigarette butt
into doesn't seem quite sound. We may possibly see more grass fires started
with the Don't mess with Texas plastic trash bags along our roads.
Although cigarette butts are an issue, I would rather see a service for
littering in general. It takes a lot of cigarette butts to make up for the
McDonalds contents along the side of the road.

 

Our club just adopted a 2 mile stretch of road, on highway 183 South.
Weekend before last, we all met and picked up trash. The mowers had already
done their work, so it made more work for us. Try picking up shredded paper
feed sacks (hunters are the main culprits).
There were very few cigarette butts, but the main trash was beer and soda
bottles, along with aluminum cans and a few styrofoam cups.

I did find a pair of "like new" work gloves and a drawstring bag, with the
Harley Davidson logo on it.
