Comment on Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk?

  Among other things, since moving to a more rural part of our state, we have uncovered these items that I assume the previous owners dumped in the woods around us:

  • A 1960-ish era chainsaw
  • A car battery
  • Rusty pipe
  • Jugs full of what looks like motor oil
  • Empty plastic bottles
  • A large roll of some sort of material like landscaping cloth that is overrun with moss & roots now.
  • A rechargeable battery for power tools
  • What appears to be the bed cover for a pickup truck
  • Loads of other smaller plastic scraps

    Wow, that’s irresponsible.
    Everyone knows car batteries go in the ocean.

  Also, burning it in a pit or those big metal barrels.

    No, the big metal barrels are all being used by the hobos living under the elevated train lines in the city.
