Why do we not have bylaw handing out tickets for this crap? At $1000.00 per fine it sure does not take long to pay for the officers.

Should go through what I have too,,,,Started driving my truck down the highway and look through the rearview mirror and WOW garbage blowing outta the back of my truck,,,(had to pull over and empty a shopping bag to put the garbage in,,,,,People dumped their garabge Mc bags, cig boxes, papers into the back of my truck,,,I am having to double check back of my truck every time I leave the city now,,,Was lucky I didn;t have a cop behind me,,would;ve hated that charge of littering when I didn;t even know it was back there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Just don't get it,,,IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO USE A GARBAGE CAN,,,,,,,,,,,,FRANK--that happens all the time,,people dumping garbage in parking lot,,gross ,disqusting and no idea how they can stop it,,as people need to start thinking what they are doing and what an example they are showing their kids

it is absolutly crazy on the ammount of garbage people toss out of their vehicles. I believe that a few large tickets might change peoples minds about littering. Even tossing your cigarette butts out the window should be a fine for littering!

That's so typical of these trashy people, bylaw cops need to patrol walmart and fine them, get some welfare money back

um just a thought but if they dont pay the ticket then the officer has to go to court and when they dont show up a warrent is issued cop spends time trying to track them down at last known address . Good luck getting the money.cant we just shoot them?

Wallmart can easily afford somebody at ten buck an hour to clean their lot. Why do it when nobody makes them. If we had a civic administration with some guts we could have a lot of things cleaned up in this city not just Wallmart.

British Columbia has extremely high fines for littering and it works in that province, why they do not do that here is beyond me. I know I have seen soiled diapers in Walmarts, Superstores and Canadian Tires parking lots nothing new in this city. A great way to leave impressions on travellers though lol.

Well to be a person in touch with mother earth this is irony at it's finest

Just so everyone knows that last comment was not me. Having issues with my comp automatically signing me in so that if anyone comments on here from my comp its always under my name..........

walmert does have a maintence guy to clean up the parking lot but not there as much. also just can't keep up with the messssssy ppl in this city.....

i used to have to work at wal mart and cleaning up the parking lot is a regular duty but its gross when someone doesnt actually throw there gabage away. my car is filthy because i hate littering i ususally let it pile up and eventually pull up somewhere and properly dispose of my litter. last week i caught 2 kids at a cemetery doing the same thing. pushing out all the garbage on the floor while in a cemetery... shame on you

This stuff happens because we tolerate it. Why do we tolerate it? Because we are taught to be kind, gentle, and forgiving for all types of people, and all types of behaviour. The quickest way to reduce the frequency of this savage (wild) behaviour is to respond with a heavy hand, instead of always passing the buck to some other department or agent.

I could present a long list of effective measures that would help, but I am neither a politician, nor a police officer. So, maybe it is time for the people running this "pristine" city, with eyes on the Winter Games, to get serious about their collective duties. Stop some of this idiotic behaviour before you lose all credibility! If you don't, then rest assured that some foreign journalist will produce a scathing documentary to highlight the negative side of Prince Albert.

Most of us are reasonable, and don't expect perfection. But, we do have high standards, and we expect our municipal government to be exerting their best efforts toward making this a better community. If you can't figure out how to solve the problem, then maybe it's time to step aside. We'll find somebody who can.

I pulled up to a 4way stop behind a young girl who opened her door and set a bag of McD's garbage on the street and drove away! I was appalled so i picked it up, followed her to her house and got out and said, "you dropped this!" she gave me a dumb look and I said "isnt there a garbage can in this house? Use your head!" threw it at her and left. More people should do this to keep people in line

the awsome staff that we ellect to so called "make our city shine"need to stepit up!Your paid make the city a great place.And yes we all need to do our part to keep our yards clean ect.this city needs some pride and and if your a visitor KEEP OUR CITY CLEAN! dont be a litter bug show some pride in your self!

It's to expensive to hire private security to monitor these effected areas in the city, it's time the city went into video surveilance, this would greatly help out the police service in placing these criminals behind bars. We can't have our law abiding citizens taking the law into their hands, the courts does not tolerate this. If you witness this act, ask them to clean it up, it he/she refuses, document all pertinent information for the police service.

Hmm of course some people are commenting about 'Keepers of the Earth", and so no - some people just love to rag on those they HATE - it wasn't us that ruined this Earth - at least try to keep race out of at least one discussion.

Welcome to PA. Home of so many people who just don't care about anyone but themselves. It seems so simple to take your garbage home and then throw it into your garbage can, but for some it is simpler to just toss it and let someone else deal with it.

Finally the answer to... why me, why do things always happen to me? If you can't find the ambition to find a trash can, you can find the ambition to help yourself and your children prosper! Sad that this is the example their kids get, most likely thought it was funny someone would have to clean it up!

As shown by "bugoffsracists," the prevailing cultural sensitivities get in the way of progress. I don't care whether you were raised in a 12 million dollar mansion by a Swedish Nanny, or a canvas tent in the middle of the boreal forest. If you can't adapt to the most basic standards of civility, and you choose to live an anti-social life centred on crime and substance abuse, then you deserve to be singled out and dealt with according to our laws.

We all identify with different families, clans, groups, and races. But, if my peers were the ones responsible for the greatest proportion of the crimes, then I would be fighting the hardest to get it cleaned up. Take some responsibility for yourself, your family, and your community, and quit worrying about what other people think of you.

Dag, what a great comment, I whole heartedly agree with you!

Of course has people have to be racist on computer behind their locked heated homes, to put their mind at ease and blame a society for the dirtyness of pa. I lived on a reserve but moved because the government offers poor education and no job opportunities on reserves, therefore I hardly know my own culture. Before you can judge a whole struggling society of past sexual, mental, emotional, abuse and loss of sense of self and culture who have trouble making trouble with their past with pile of money and no direction, then let me see your opinion.

Let me get this straight? Many people on this site would rather pull tax payer money from services and sink it into expensive court trials for littering? Its hard enough keeping the store clean inside let alone outside. If it bugs you so much then have some pride in your town and do it yourself! No wonder no wonder no one respects pa, why bother with comments like this?

Morning to all in this Festive season we call Christmas. A thought about garbage. I like the comment about following, the person who didnt think it was her garbage. We have camera's that can take pictures and movies. Show the public what kind of people who do these dumping of garbage in public places.There is u tube and other sites that love this kind of trash, lol. Get it!
These sites show of people litterly dying on some of these sites so get your cameras rolling and show off our garbage throwing criminals. They will differ next time they do this as their face and broken up van will be on the siber space called the net and anything else out there that is absorbed by a computor.
As we do this we might as well take pictures of healthy people who wish to take up wheel chair parking spots. And these people aren't always from first nations. They are of all nations. They are tooo lazy to walk another ten feet to go do their shopping.
Lets pick up the trash if we are conserned. Sad if people do this but we are able bodied people. PICK IT UP IF IT BOTHERS YOU. Dont forget to put some gloves on, I do.
Take care out there in our First Nations land.
