ABOUT EVERY 50 YARDS ALONG THE GREEN RIVER TRAIL, WITHOUT FAIL,
THERE IS A PLASTIC BAG STUCK IN A TREE OR THE BLACKBERRY BUSHES.
(Addendum 4/1/2019: South of the Driving Range there is almost constant trash in the trees and bushes just off the Green River Trail)

Next to the Green River Trail, closed to car traffic, this is most definitely homeless camp related trash

Same mess reported on 3/25/2019

It had been a while since I last rode by the 3 Friends Fishing Hole Park but I went by there today. I was glad to see the no mess or homeless camp under the overpass today. I was also glad to see a Kent Police supervised crew picking up trash and painting over gang signs along Frager Rd. South under the 516 overpass over the Green River. And finally I was glad to see 2 Kent Police bike patrol officers riding north on the Green River Trail by the Riverbend Golf Course today at around 3:00 PM.

But I spotted one new mess, illegal dumping no doubt, between Frager Rd. S and the Green River today, and the perennial Riverbend Golf Course homeless camp is still there. A lot of the junk seems to have been cleaned out of it, but there is a new tent and other new junk in there now.

 More illegal dumping along Frager Rd. S.

5/9/2019

The mess seen on 4/30/19 on Frager Rd. South, south of Meeker Street is still there minus a few items that probably got blown into the Green River.  It is plainly apparent that whatever has been dumped in this location has killed a large area of vegetation below where you see the discarded buckets. It is only in this area where the vegetation is dead, all other areas along the Green River next to this section of Frager Rd S. are lush and green. I suspect this spot has been used for repeated dumping of toxic and hazardous waste. Whatever has been dumped here it is no doubt working its way into the Green River.

This Dog Waste Station needs a pickup.

OK, here we go. 8/15/2019, the first illegal dumping on the newly rerouted and reopened Frager Rd. S. Congratulations to the loser that did this. You know it would not make any difference if it were free for people to take small loads to the to the Bow Lake Transfer & Recycle Station, because the pigs that do this are as LAZY as they are CHEAP!
