I often see trash blowing out of the back of trash trucks. If only the companies would be forced to pay for the inadvertent littering.

Any fee would be passed onto the consumer

Ok, the points of anyone’s license caught littering.

Do cops in RI arrest anyone?

If you’re white or white passing, then probably not.

Which would make them a more expensive option. Which would make them less competitive in the market and open an opportunity for another company that could haul trash more cleanly and this more cheaply.

Having had to look into trash haulers for a condo complex, I'm not sure any of them would change the way they do things just to not pay the fines... they'd probably gripe about it and raise prices together in solidarity. And get their union to sue the state about being treated unfairly.

The state has the funds (the most we’ve ever had really) to address this issue.

I don’t typically see people throwing trash out windows (I’m sure some soft headed creatures do though) but I have seen frequent windstorms knock down trash barrels and send it flying Everywhere.

I've watched plenty of people throw trash right out of their car windows, unfortunately.

Yeah this happens all the time. It’s why the streets are flooded with nips. People don’t want them in there car if they get pulled over.

I live on a main road, and I think the trash in my yard is just wind blown.

Some People really just don't care about their towns/ communities. It's gross. Theres trash cans literally every store, park, etc. Keep it in your car and throw it out when you stop.

Watched a guy throw trash out his window as I was driving behind him. Some people are just inconsiderate.

Get the residents together to pick it up. Ask the Dept of Public Works to help you set it up.

There was one time a police car changed to my lane in front of me, opened their window, and threw a McDonald cup outta their car, as if they were afraid I didn’t see it lol.
