At one count last spring, there were 32 abandoned automobiles, dozens of refrigerators, and a wide variety of other discards. There has been no attempt to close the road. There have been no arrests for illegal dumping.

There have been no known protests by the county health board. This is the area where the neighbors have vigorously protested location of a sanitary land fill.
