The normal forest underbrush was crushed with the heavy snowfall on Halloween and we haven't had any snow since, so there are some clearer views than usual into the woods on either side of our road. I found two illegally dumped piles of tires today while walking my dog at lunch. This is the larger one and has been there for some time, judging from the amount of pine needles and moss on the bottom tires. The other pile was more recent and was near where I found a pile of car batteries a few years ago.
This is an unfortunate fact of life when living on a dirt road in rural New Hampshire. Besides a steady stream of alcohol containers of all kinds, lottery tickets, fast food and other household garbage, I've found a mattress, a folding chair, a vacuum, a pile of computer equipment (CRT, desktops, printers, smashed scanner) and other miscellaneous junk. Why do people feel they can do this on my road? There are scrap metal dealers and tire recyclers nearby, and the fees at the local dump aren't *that* much.
