Some of us do not have a truck to haul things off to the dump. I’m sure I can answer that for many people. And a noted thing about community clean ups help keep the neighborhood clean looking and safe for kids! @Ray first off, I’d like to inform you that some people In this world are not multi car families.

We pay taxes to the county via 1.5% in sales tax, property tax etc. Then we have to pay a fee to take our trash to the county dump. If you live in the North end and use the Oak Grove county dump facility you pay at least double if not triple the amount to dump your trash. I was told by a county waste worker that the higher cost is to cover the expenses of the two county workers who travel to the north end to run the small facility. Now if that the case where is our tax dollars going? I would say that either we all pay to dump our trash or none of us (tax payers) pay to dump our trash. My issue is not with the residents of these areas that get there trash hauled off for free it's with the Board of Commissioners that allow our tax money to be spent on a few while the rest of us continue to pay twice for our trash to be dumped. Through taxes and dump fees. Why is our tax dollars going to pay to take individuals personal trash off.

The community is a blighted zone where trash, mattresses, and junk are continually piled on the side of the road. Need to do one of these in Byrneville just south of the school.

For example, they do this area every year. They also do the Farm Hill area almost yearly but they only do the West side of Jack's Branch Road but not the East side which needs it as bad.
