You can't fix poverty by making people buy passes.
Some people can't afford garbage service or to take their stuff to a legal dump. Some people are dealing with personal tragedies that are so extreme that they don't care. Some people have nowhere to go, so they have to camp in the woods.
Bringing back debtor's prisons is not the way to fix this. I understand the frustration and anger, but you're pointing it in the wrong direction.
I get the impression, maybe wrongly that the poster is making excuses for the poor. That's bull. If they can afford gas to drive into the outback they can afford rubbish pickup. A permit not only won't work but isn't fair to the honest camper who is the only ones who will buy the permit. Same as in gun control laws, the criminal won't pay any attention. We can't expect rangers to patrol the hundreds of square miles to catch the crud. I found a water heater dumped miles up a desert wash. No ranger could of prevented this. I loaded it in my Jeep and dropped it off at a road side rest. I see no solution. There will always be degenerates who have no responsibility to society. I guess all we can do is be aware of a chance to turn the dumper in and have it ignored or to just bite our lip and clean up what we can for our next lawful camping good neighbor.... IMO..
