garbage

The popular Harry Osborne State Forest in NW WA is closing, for now

this popular recreation spot was recently cleaned up by officials.

It came as a surprise to me Tuesday, when I went to unload a bunch of pruned branches, leaves, and yard garbage that will up the back of my truck.

She got lucky TWICE!

West Richland police took down this 'pioneer' shelter they found on private property this week, and reminded people, if you're going to be 'homesteading' make sure you have permission to do so.

Just a friendly reminder, don't rake up that pile of leaves or yard debris and expect to light up a 'fun' bonfire. Every fall, it does happen. Folks sometimes get a citation for an illegal burn because they didn't check with the Benton Clean Air Agency...

Apparently dumping, trespassing and shooting has become so prevalent in this area of Benton County, sheriff's deputies are going to start nailing people with fines and citations. Benton County Sheriff's said Thursday property owners in the area of Ayers and Meals roads by the Columbia River have turned to them for help with increased dumping and trespassing...

You're going out for your morning walk in Howard Amon. You're taking in the beautiful morning and scenery, then you spot a garbage can with litter and bags of trash not IN the can, but around it! You think, "Are you KIDDING ME!? The can is RIGHT THERE...

I have never attended the Watershed festival at the Gorge so maybe I just don't get it...but I am appalled by the photos I've seen of the aftermath it's completely disgusting that people would leave so much filth and trash behind!
