I've seen two kinds of large trash piles in the boonies. One kind is the unofficial neighborhood dump for people who live in the area. It's not legal, but it's been used for years, maybe decades. I guess people figure the legal site is too far away.
The other kind is an abandoned illegal home site. Those are so sad. I see kid's clothes, magazines, aspirin bottles... and I wonder about the people who were there and had to leave in a hurry.
And yeah, there are smaller (but still icky) amounts of trash by actual campers / partiers who just don't care.
It wasn't really clear what kinds people were talking about in the article.
