I have been watching magnet fishing and people love to toss stuff over bridges without a second thought on the environmental impact. Hiding evidence I can almost understand but not lawnmowers, car batteries, etc.
It seems deeper fines should be made to discourage this terrible behavior.
I would add that driving all the way to the dump with something in a truck isn’t something everyone’s able to do
I’m sure it happens, but if you’ve loaded an appliance in your truck already, and are able to dump it down a ravine or beside the road, you can do the same at the dump.
