I now just bring a plastic shopping bag with me when I fish a particular area near my house and stuff the bag with as much as will fit in it.Most of what I pick up is bait boxes,hook packages,line and of course food/drink related garbage.

No point in calling RIDEM.When or if an officer gets the complaint he has to come from Ft.Adams in Newport.On top of that these guys are driving Dodge Neons and Ford Focuses.I've called the local police and given them the plate #s of the offenders' vehicles.I wait till the offending idiots are leaving as its much safer(for me)that way.I've encountered the same people the following day after I've dimed them out and find more garbage.

What really kills me is the place I'm referring to has a 1/2 dozen garbage cans. You HAVE to walk by them to get to your vehicle and yet I still find garbage on the beach.You don't even have to know how to read to know that those big blue barrels with round tops are garbage cans.There is no excuse not use them other than complete laziness.
