I have been watching magnet fishing and people love to toss stuff over bridges without a second thought on the environmental impact. Hiding evidence I can almost understand but not lawnmowers, car batteries, etc.

It seems deeper fines should be made to discourage this terrible behavior.

    Goddamn. It costs like thirty or forty bucks to throw out one of those items here (not construction debris–that’s too big/heavy).

      There’s so much NIMBY about landfills they’re rare and very far apart, so they can get away with charging 4x what’s fair.

        I mean to be fair having a landfill around would be one of the only things I’d be a NIMBY about.

        I’d even accept a nuclear reactor over a landfill.

              It got hit by a 9.0 earthquake AND a tsunami, and only ONE guy MAYBE died from radiation, FOUR YEARS later.

              I remember Fukushima.

              You never knew Fukushima. You only knew the bullshit shoveled into your ears.
