Chattooga County Jail inmates collected over 500 pounds of trash on Monday as they picked up things from empty buckets to discarded mattresses along the county roadways this week.  Litter is a real problem in the county, with miles and miles of scenic roadways trashed by illegal dumping and people throwing trash out of their vehicle windows.  Already this year, the county inmates have picked up thousands of pounds of trash.  With the warmer weather, county inmate crews are able to get out and pick up the trash, but the problem could be solved if people would just quit littering and dumping things illegally on our county’s roadways.
