It's a darn shame that local people feel the need to dump their household garbage into the gray cans at Bayview Park. Just this morning, an individual emptied out the back of his station wagon into the cans.
When I suggested he don't, he said the township should pick up garbage more frequently, and, "don't give me a hard time, lady." Luckily I have pictures and the plate of his vehicle and the items (including his empty, rusty 5 gallon can of water sealer) he left behind.
I enjoy coming every day to this park and enjoy the water and sunsets. People like him ruin it for the rest of us. :(
What a d-bag.
Thank you everyone else for your support. This gentleman should not have used a Brick park for dumping any household garbage, especially items that he would would have to pick up the phone to call Public Works to get. Again Dan, can't people have a simple dialogue on any subject here anymore? Take care, BA
Yes, he emptied his trunk. Was I supposed to count the amount that was in his trunk? NO. He actually full sized gray cans with his garbage, as well as a 5 gallon rusty can of driveway sealer and an empty gas can.

In addition, I believe that Public Works has a Route 35 location for Brick residents (i.e., taxpayers) to bring any excess garbage during the summer months. If this guy cannot afford an additional can than this is another option over "dumping in the woods."
On another note, this is one of the rare times I'll offer an opinion on something: It is absolutely unacceptable to place household waste (especially large amounts of it) in a park receptacle. Next thing you know, the cans will be overflowing and there will be garbage surrounding the park entrance. And that's not to mention the fact that this is a bayfront park where it's breezy, doubtlessly sending the overflowing trash flying all over the place, through the park, into the bay and onto local residents' properties. This isn't a political issue. It's a common sense issue.
