How much road-side trash is there? You'll see.
The state is picking up your trash today, just like other days.
But tomorrow, the trash that the Rhode Island Department of Transportation collects today off the sides of highways and bridges will be on display.
And if trash collection is “typical,” that means between 750 and 1,000 bags of litter, according to a statement released by the RIDOT.
Tomorrow’s display of trash is being held on Earth Day for a simple reason: to show motorists the impact of roadside trash and ask everyone to keep their trash to themselves.

The state should hire more state police or create an agency within the State police to "police" the highways and byways of RI to start finding these people. The roadsides of RI look like the landfill most of the time and it is a shame.
This is one reason I moved to NH, our dirtiest area is RI cleanest.
