| Abstract | Long Description |
A recent report released by Ecology showed that only 25 percent of the litter on roadways is being picked up. The report is a culmination of a legislatively mandated study to examine the litter problem. The study estimated that 16 million pounds of litter accumulate on state roadways each year. Six million additional pounds of litter accumulate in public areas, such as state and county parks and recreation areas. |
