Tell
us what you think about litter "Years ago, I was on a first date w/ this guy
I really liked and he rolled down his window and threw a big bag of
trash from his fast food meal out the window. I was SHOCKED!
Instantly he wasn't so cute to me any more and I never returned his
calls for a 2nd date. He didn't think I was serious when I asked him
to go back and pick it up...but I was! If California had a litter hotline, I think I would
be calling it a few times a week. That is a great idea." -Christi Williams So tell us what you think about litter and we will
feature your comment on the front page! Just send us an EMAIL.

they're doing. And then when you call them out on it they're like,
whoa, maybe I shouldn't be doing that," he said...read

Illegal Dumping in Mascot, TN
TennesseeTrash.org exclusive: Aug. 29, 2007:
Tennessee
Trash has discovered an illegal dump site on Mascot
Rd. in rural East Knox County. The dump site is on a gravel
pull-off on the side of the road, just west of the locally famous Mascot
reptile rock. Old tires, bags of clothes, construction material,
and household trash, has been dumped behind large rocks along side
the road. It appears that this illegal dumping has been going on for
quite a while. I will attempt to return to the dump site for a day
of clean-up. I will post updates as they occur. Click
here to see some pics of the illegal dump site in Mascot, TN.
