Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful Sunday. About 9:30 in the morning the only person in Cooper Riverside Park was a guy digging through the trash cans (arrow). He had just finished digging through a different trash can (circled) where he spilled trash to the ground leaving it there for the gulls to dig through and spread around.
Trash can and dumpster divers are major contributors to the litter plaguing downtown Mobile, the back of shopping centers and residential homes. It is too bad that Mobile's tough new litter codes have no teeth in them to serve as a deterrent to the crime of littering.
