It is really about putting the pressure on politicians to act. That will be done by showing up to town wide clean ups and engaging with them. Ask how will they reduce the problem. Don’t accept the excuses why they don’t or can’t. There is money out there in the form of clean communities grants to offset the expenses, they have property maintenance, littering and dumping ordinances that need to be rewritten so they can be enforced. If pols see people will vote with this in mind then they will be compelled to act.

It's not even in the right state

Go Birds!

I’m from out of state. NJ definitely has a more permissive culture about litter than other places I’ve lived. Besides Harlem. The litter in Harlem is absurd.

Yeah I also help pick up trash in the area. Not sure why people downvote these comments. Some people in this sub are seriously delusional and in denial.

Everywhere does have littering problems, yes. NJ being densely populated and being part of the commute in the tri state also makes it more congested and prone to littering. It's no secret we have littering problems and like you said it's a repetitive thing. It's never going to stop, you have to do it every week and it really can't be limited to like court ordered community service.

Looking at the detrashed pics of before and after is such dopamine release for me lol

Vermont. Not perfect, but 10x better

I was at the game… thank god I was wearing GREEN. GO BIRDS!!

Didn’t bother watching past the first quarter

I moved to NJ in 2008. My wife and I got involved with Hackensack Riverkeeper and their clean up program. We have met people who we get together with to clean up along the waterways in North and Central Jersey. I have posted a few on here and the subredidit r/detrashed. It is repetitive. We go back to the same places and clean. It’s a huge issue but not limited to NJ. Collect the trash, take pics, keep hounding your local government and demand they take action. Vote for those that will and do!

$500 per year isn’t out of the norm. I live in an HOA. They enforce little things here and there. I take great pride in my house and yard so it never impacts me. I don’t mind that everyone in the community is held to the same standards. It can impact the value. Our houses are worth 100k+ more than the ones across the street without an HOA because half the houses look unkept. To each his own but I’m cool with HOAs.

I would never move site unseen into new construction. They put them up as fast as possible with the cheapest materials and labor. Oh and forget about builder warranty work within the first year, they will drag their feet until the warranty term expires and you’re SOL.

Find yourself a 1960’s later home with good bones (no foundation, structural, or water damage) and remodel it as you live in the space. You’ll be in charge of what YOU want vs what builder grade material is put in.

There’s a guy on route 19/route 80 in Clifton that picks up trash, he’s a good bro

MetLife Stadium was actually built without any public funding

People did this around where I live and gave up after 2 weeks because the trash came right back. Maybe we just need to pass harsher fines for littering

Now I don't feel bad about my 5 dollar bet that I put in just in case

And your not that perceptive. And might be delayed in developing some of those.. higher-ordered functions. Big picture stuff.

More people = more litter, then there’s the if other people see it being done they will be more likely to do it too.

Point being- it’s an everywhere problem

I’m glad I’m not, because you’re not intelligent.

a person perceived as an unscrupulous opportunist.

The giants couldn’t get NY to build them a stadium but conned NJ into doing it.

Seems to fit to me.

Lol figures

Fuckers don't even play in their own state

Yes, if that’s what you read the point to be, that I think the Eagles are from NJ, dumbass is a correct self-assessment

Nj public’s schools for you
