While it's disgusting no matter whose trash it is, it's a tiny problem compared to environmental disaster that is occurring or about to occur in the US. The cause is the same though - it's all about me, and how much money can I extract for the "shareholders."

Pebble Mine - Bristol Bay

Drilling in ANWAR

Opening 9 million acres of wilderness to roads and logging in the Tongass NF

If you have ever been to any industrial site in AK, like the oil fields in Prudhoe Bay, or mines outside of Fairbanks, you would not feel this way. They are very conscientious of the environment and the animals that call those places home. They take incredible care to not harm wildlife and keep everything clean. If a polar bear goes anywhere near a drill site, the shut it down regardless of the cost until the bear has it's babies and leaves the area. Alaska is the last place in the world you have to worry about environmental damage.

But it sure is fun to sit in your house heated by fossil fuels, using power generated by fossil fuels and drive to the beer store in your car powered by fossil fuels for beer that was made in a factory using fossil fuels, lights and fridge at the grocery store, etc etc
all while saying logging drilling and mining are bad.
Typical hypocrite....and as you said, never seen the level of care and effort that goes into some of these operations. Namely the N Slope and other AK activities.
