We were there today and picked up 21 bags of litter.  Most of it consisting of bottles, styrofoam, cans and plastic bags.  We met with the property manager who complained that people are doing illegal dumping in this area.  We spoke to Gary C. of     who said a truck would be out to pick up the trash we collected.
