North Carolina Litter Pickup= 4.2 Million Pounds
2010 Two Week Roadside Litter Campaign in North Carolina
- 4.2 Million Pounds or (1.9 billion cigerattees, 134 million coke cand or 42,000 couches)
- 288,000 bags with Roadside litter.
- Highway Patrol issued 240 citations (not enough to cover cost)
Iredell County:
3,213 bags
- N.C. Department of Corrections inmate crews -1,789 of those bags
- 1,424 bags were stuffed by Adopt-A Highway groups and other volunteers around the county.
Who paid for this? Taxpayers of course, this was litter pickup for only 4 weeks of the year. Lets get realistic:
North Carolina has a population of 9,381,000 people – thats about 4.5 pounds of litter per person. Pretty trashy.
