re: Why is there so much trash everywhere in BR and NOLA (and Louisiana in general)?

I can't remember the last time I've seen someone throw trash out the car window, but I consistently see trash blow out the top of moving garbage trucks.

This.

In EBR there are prison work crews that pick up trash along Hwy 61 between I-110 and the EBR landfill. Every week they generate a giant pile of trash that they stack in orange bags, usually around Plains-Port Hudson Rd to be picked up by a truck and brought to the landfill. All of this trash they pick up is trash flying off the trucks on their way to the landfill.
