Man, you guys wouldn't last 5 seconds in China. They only recently started garbage pick up in Beijing, where the norm was to fill a garbage bag and then toss it on the street. I almost got hit one morning and seriously thought the guy was doing it on purpose.....until I was told it was up to me to "avoid" flying garbage.
Can't say I've ever seen anyone doing it in Calgary though. The ones I have seen are the mattresses and various other office furniture that scatter the ditches close to me. I work somewhat close to the dump, and it seems that as soon as someone realizes that they have to pay $5 to throw out a mattress they toss it in our driveway instead.
One day, I wish I could catch these people.
