If it is seen and picked up great. There is allot of it that never gets picked up and ends up in the drinking water supply or it ends up on the bottom of the ocean. People should learn to respect mother earth and clean up after themselves.

If the park, beach or lake is on federal land, the federal government incurs the costs by having staff members clean it up. Which, of course, diverts funds from other park related uses. At non public parks and lakes, the trash usually just accumulates.

Unfortunately, much of the rubbish victimizes many of the animals in those parks, lakes and beaches. How many ducks or birds are strangled by the plastic 6-pack 'handles' so many people carelessly toss aside?
How many bears eat the garbage left from those who have visited our beautiful parks and beaches?
How many fish die as a result of the waste that ends up in the water just because WE were too lazy to properly dispose of it? -RKO- 05/17/07

Where I live, we have one weekend a year where volunteers go to parks, lakes and beaches and pick up trash and clear the beach of seaweed and all the other junk that accumulates over the year. It's usually in the Spring.

They either have park employees that pick up litter everyday or it gets washed into the lakes and rivers.

Some of it ewashes out to sea, the rest is picked up by convicts doing community service and other unfortunate souls.

Taxes are used to pay people who's job it is to pick it up. Some inevitably doesn't and ends up as water pollution or litter.

Yeah, it pollutes the Earth after years of piling up. Where it should go is the question. And the answer lies up the butts of the offenders.

Yes. It eventually gets picked up by people wearing orange jumpsuits.

they are picked up by people doing community service for the local council to pay off their penalties laid down by a court judge.
