Dear Editor,
I hope this finds you well, Nice to see someone looking outside the box for a change. Good job.
I live south of town on Blue Creek Road and have always loved the area. With growth of Billings over the years, I’ve seen a deal of trash from public and private vehicles that drive to landfill/dump with a uncovered loads. If you sit anywhere on South Billings Blvd. on any given day, Saturday, summer mornings are the busiest, You will notice truck after truck with loads of garbage, uncovered or not strapped down. It is unbelievable. Not to mention we all pay for the poor guys that have to walk up and down the road and pick this stuff up weekly. The amount of trash that blows into the Yellowstone river is unreal. Not to mention the dangers and road hazards this causes. If you live out here, you learn to buy 10 ply tires pretty quick. (Roofing nails) I have visited other city’s that will not take your trash unless it has tarps over it and they charge extra. You get the point. It would be nice if we could come together to get a plan in place to eliminate the trash spreading all over the place.
