Enjoy your roam, take your rubbish home Says the sign. With no effect in deterring the offenders. It's not roaming walkers causing the problem. Hereabouts it seems residents mustn't have refuse collections so they load it into motor vehicles and chuck it out of their passenger windows as they drive by. Lots of them, for miles. The picture can't capture just how much there is.
