Comment on Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk?

  A lot of people way out in the boonies with a decent amount of land will dig a trench and just dump their trash in it. Great for groundwater I’m sure.

    Among other things, since moving to a more rural part of our state, we have uncovered these items that I assume the previous owners dumped in the woods around us:

    • A 1960-ish era chainsaw
    • A car battery
    • Rusty pipe
    • Jugs full of what looks like motor oil
    • Empty plastic bottles
    • A large roll of some sort of material like landscaping cloth that is overrun with moss & roots now.
    • A rechargeable battery for power tools
    • What appears to be the bed cover for a pickup truck
    • Loads of other smaller plastic scraps

      Wow, that’s irresponsible.
      Everyone knows car batteries go in the ocean.

    Also, burning it in a pit or those big metal barrels.

      No, the big metal barrels are all being used by the hobos living under the elevated train lines in the city.
