Was out Riding Da Minion, Flipside and Death March a few times over the last week and couldn’t get over the amount of garbage piling up near the entrance past Russel Metals…It grew in size even in the couple days between my rides. Computers, chairs, engine oil containers, you name it.
Hopefully this doesn’t migrate towards the end of the road where the trail starts to impact the trail. Anyone know if the city is doing anything about this??? It looks terrible and could impact the trail if it becomes a dumping ground for household garbage/ electronics.
People are f*cking disgusting. I can’t believe people still throw trash out of their car windows and dump garbage anywhere they please. It takes no effort to do the right thing.
Time to set up a hidden game camera in a tree maybe…
It’s because it’s so out of the way and secluded that people will just dump hard to dispose of things or things they didn’t get by the curb. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if some of the people doing this didn’t even know there was a trail head there. I have found back there to always be really full of waste and it saddens me
Pretty sure those computer parts were hauled out of Da Minion by @JeffV (the city will come and pick it up if its on the street but not in the woods). He probably already put in a service request, but wouldn’t hurt to submit another here.
Haha… no worries, was just a thought- I don’t even have one of those cameras but I was thinking of the Tina Kraal thing in Vancouver where they were able to film her sabotaging trails.
By the way… my wheel barrow is up in the woods by the granite pad the start of Da Minion (the good part). If anyone feels like using it to do some good in the world feel free.
My intent was to use it to fill some of the soggy bits with gravel from nearby granite section.
