Comment on Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?

Junk also tend to accumulate in rivers and lakes. Once it’s in there it’s out of sight, out of mind - and even if you know it’s there it is hard to remove.

When it finally gets cleaned up by bringing in the magnet or a barge or whatever, you’re seeing years if not decades of stuff that’s getting pulled out all at once.
