Answer 1

Buy metal garbage pails from the local Home Depot or hardware store. Chain them with about 3 feet of chain and a large lock to a telephone pole. Put up signs on the pole warning for a fine for throwing garbage on the ground. Contact your local police or city maintenance people for pails if you want a good one or go to a town/city board meeting a complain to the board about the problem. Make arrangements for the city to empty the garbage every week. Have confidence that your involvement can make a difference. Sometimes the police will put up a sign if you ask. Consider starting a signed petition go to all your neighbors door to door see if you can get a hundred signatures to prove that it is a problem that many people agree about. Presenting the petition to the town/city board will give your argument a lot of weight.
