WA state highways are trashed. Don’t expect the litter to be cleaned up any time soon Craig Sailor, The News Tribune
The state’s highways are looking like drive-thru trash heaps, and it’s unlikely to get better until cleanup programs mothballed by the COVID-19 pandemic can be restarted.
Careless drivers, unsecured loads and garbage spilling from roadside homeless encampments are the leading causes of the unsightly mess along Washington’s roads, according to those charged with preventing and cleaning it up.
“Roads don’t litter themselves,” said Steve Williams who leads the state Department of Ecology’s war on litter in the Northwest region.
