Littering Issue in Edgewoodby Mark Franz, Edgewood Resident 

Litter Epidemic In Edgewood-Anyone traveling along

many local roads would have to say that the amount andfrequency of littering in Edgewood neighborhoods isreaching epidemic proportions. As a member of the First

Harford Square Maintenance Staff, I take part in DAILYlitter sweeps through our community only to see thesame amount of litter we spend HOURS each day

 picking up being deposited back into place almostimmediately. If there is any enforcement of littering

laws that are on the books taking place it is absolutelyineffective. Requests to have signs posted on HarfordSquare Drive notifying potential litterbugs of penalties

that nothing can be done about it. New York Citystarted its turnaround in the 1990s by AGGRESSIVEenforcement of LITTER FINES. Even spitting on thesidewalk got the spitter fined. Folks need to beeducated that the WORLD IS NOT THEIR PERSONAL TRASH CAN. Young people need to be

taught to pocket wrappers and paper and to carry a bottle or can home or until a trash can comes along.Hey People let's remember it takes a village
