I see this happen every once in a while. The only thing I can think of is that the employees just don't care that neighbors are watching them.
How do you deal with these issues?
Businesses polluting water (http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061211/OPINION/612110312/1032) - Am I the only person who gets disturbed when I see lawn care company workers equipped with power blowers getting rid of leaves and lawn clippings by blowing them into the streets (and into the sewers, if close enough) instead of hauling them to recycling centers where they belong?
I recently visited someone who lives next to the water. I witnessed a crew with at least four men blowing leaves, grass clippings, trash and scraps of paper into the lagoon.
Lawn care companies include in their fees the cost of hauling away the refuse, which they have to pay to dump, I assume. So why don't they do it?
I recently heard on the radio a government official telling us to pick up after our animals, not to throw trash in the streets and to keep our waterways clean. That one lawn care crew caused more pollution in one hour than five houses could in a month.
