I was out there yesterday & it didn't look nearly as bad as the time prior. Grin  There were a zillion people so I don't know if all of the vehicles hid the trash.  It was a nice change.  I guess going out there today would show what the weekend had produced.

***More negative publicity in the form of injured riders requiring Trauma Hawk, BSO, AMR, & Fire Rescue to respond out there.

that sucks that someone got hurt out there, i hate how they blame the atv as apposed to the untrained rider or stupidity of the rider who gets hurt, if it's the riders fault, they should have the rider tell that as apposed to the news saying that the atv itself was the cause of the crash

i think there is a few main issues that can be worked out fairly easy. 1st is the trash. FWC or someone needs to get trash cans/dumpsters out there and dumped on a regular basis. when you go to the beach there are t-cans, when you go to a park there a t-cans. Why not out there?

We tried this a little more than a year ago. As told to us by waste management and FWC, There is a liability issue of many different angles. Kids playing in it, on it, or around it. Who monitors that? Burning it. For some strange reason people like burning dumpsters or people put toxic items that create and or cause a fire. Crash liability. Somebody is going to run into it, ORV, quad, pick up, Volvo, bicycle will some how someway run into it. Then here is the kicker. Somebody got hurt, well at that point who assumes liability?  Who picks up the cost? Who was negligent? We researched all of this stuff and tried to get permanent dumpsters. This was all about 1-2 years ago. Maybe people change, new management, new thinking may allow change, but as described to us there was just to much liability.

In addition to that there was an issue obtaining dumpsters for a clean-up ride hosted around the same period 2 years ago, waste management wanted no part of it, they where in fear of liability for the things described above.

Also tires, batteries, building materials and various other debris will somehow end up in that dumpster. Waste management will not empty the dumpster. So then who dumpster dives and recovers the contra banded debris? Then what do you do with all of that contra banded debris?

Their take is, you brought it. You used it; you take it home with you.
