Letter to the Editor: Appalled by the amount of trash on Route 155 in Charles City

As a resident of Charles City County for 45 years, I have paid many taxes for which I do not receive any services.

I think the trash on Route 155 and many other roads is deplorable. VDOT (Virginia’s Department of Transportation) just chops it up when cutting. I notice that Route 5 is clean and other county residents should be shown the same respect. It has gotten worse lately, so whoever is responsible for picking up litter should be held accountable.

I have personally volunteered my time to pick up trash on my road for the last 30-plus years. Surely other county officials could see that our county gets cleaned up.
