I challenge anyone especially the Times Daily to come to approx. 14800-15000 Hwy 72 West (about 6 miles West) but on the East bound side (heading in to town) and see the trash piled up. It's been there for more than 6 mos. and it's getting larger. The newspaper should put a picture of this on the headlines that reads, "Welcome to Tuscumbia/M. Shoals...we take pride in our area." The State Highway Dept is more concerned with an illegal sign than someone making a trash dump on a public right of way. I'm from Louisiana and we lost the chance for a Toyota Plant because Toyota said we were "too trashy" along our roadways...yea right! Tupelo, Ms. got the plant but I don't know how....they are just as trashy here and in Miss. I challenge someone to get a picture of this in the newspaper, NOW! Why hasn't our Visitors Bureau on Hwy. 72 @ the Music Hall of Fame called someone...do they know what visitors drive by coming in to town? Do we want the National Rail Car Co. execs looking at this pile of trash every day driving home from work? Where are your County Commissioners/Police Jury members, or the Trash Police??? This may even be a toxic dump..who knows?

Its not his place to clean it up,,we pay tax money for that !!!

Plus it gives the jailbirds something to do . Big Grin


It may not be his place to clean it up, but that could be a start on getting it accomplished. Like Zuter said, take pride in your community. Don't rely on someone else. If you don't like something; fix it!

Thanks for your support, Zute. tnt has had it out for me since I didn't want to post in her American Idol thread and someone else started their own. She jumped on them, and I told her to quit being the forum police.

Kinda sounds like the people upstairs at Tidesports.com, doesn't it?

TNT is right , jailbirds should be required to pick up trash along the highways.
If the police would take some pains in catching and arresting those who throw the trash, THEY should be the ones picking it up as well as paying a fine. Remember the movie "Alace's Restaurant "


Well, obviously, the local authorities aren't taking any action to clean the mess. Put a positive message out for the community to keep it clean. Talk with the people in charge of cleaning it up. Voice your concern and show some community action!

Your right tnt Wink We pay taxes so the jailbirds have a place to go so the way for them to pay back to society is to clean the sides of the road. The city and county have the equiptment to pick things like that up. So if the city, county, and jailbirds work together we would have clean roads.
And plus if these lazy people would learn how to use a trash can our roads wouldn't be dirty.

Haha, for the last time...I AM A GUY!!! NOT A GIRL!!!

And, I don't know Macey, but if she wants to start another thread, LET HER DO IT!

I don't care if mine were deleted or not, I just created them because I knew that you'd comment on every single one rebuking me! And you did!

But, I really don't care what you people think about me. If all you people have to do is get on here and fight over minuscule things, then that's ridiculous!

Whts close too it..


I gave you the approx mailbox #'s....not all mailboxes have no.s posted. This person dumping evidently lives up the driveway and thinks the County will pick up his/her trash like M. Shoals does. It's not happening. and to the comment for me to pick it up....I have 10 acres that I pick up daily. How many Colbert County officials look at it everyday?? the real reason is that the driveway is located just over the top of a hill so it comes up on you fast...and you only see it for a second..out of sight...out of mind.

Report it to city council or the police as illegal dump site. They should take care of it.

Is it an illegal dumping sight or is it someone throwing their junk out by their driveway?
If it is someone throwing their junk out by their driveway then the county will pick it up IF each piece of whatever it is, isn't over 8 ft long.
Report it to city council or the police as illegal dump site. They should take care of it.[/QUOTE]

Personally I have had trash dumped on my property in Florence. Reporting to authorities did noting more than waste my time. There isn't much we (the ones of us that are concerned ) can do except clean up what we are able.
