As a state we are incapable of recognizing this issue and the "Litter" tax system is completely broken. And yet it goes on because it is designed not to change and there is no recognition that parts of Virginia are no longer rural. The Litter tax runs between $11 to $15 per property tax cycle for commercial businesses like 7-11's and McDonalds who are the largest generators of trash. That money is then donated to the Clean Fairfax Council here which is supposed to be actively pursuing clean-ups. While they do supply trash bags I'm not sure actively pursuing can describe their organization efforts. This tax totals about $186,000 per year which barely covers salaries and bulk trash bags for a year. The litter tax board is made up of lobbyists for the bottle & can industry who don't want it to change. Virginia truly is for Lovers of TRASH. And we are drowning in it. This is a system developed over 50 years ago that doesn't address today's problem and as a state we are incapable,apparently, of solving it. I applaud the efforts of the county to try something.
