Therefore the blame should be placed directly on the shoulders of the Indiana taxpayers, since they don't pay enough taxes to fund State workers to follow around the users of the state parks making sure they behave. Fortunately, they will likely resolve problems like this with the time proven method of Governmental problem resolution... just close up the dump stations. It is nice to know we have people like you to point out how it takes a village to make people behave. We have long needed to kill the concept of personal responsibility.
I think the fault lies more on the park operatorr than the users of the dump station. The users seemed to pile their trash all in one location since there was no trash recepticle. I bet all of those gloves would have been in the trash can if there was one. Blame the park, not the users.

I agree with you on just throwing the gloves on the ground at the dump station is ALL WRONG and disrespectful of others.
BUT, I respectively disagree with your comments about "why" some wear gloves when dumping at a dump station.
Those 'dump stations' and everything related to them IS a bio hazard. With thousands of people using them dumping waste 'without' gloves.
You have no idea who has what and who has touched what.
I for one am NOT going to take any chance of getting any disease from others. And nowadays more than ever there are 'numerous' contact diseases, and now more than ever a very 'large percentage' of people who have them. Serious incurable diseases like Hep C, Hep B, HIV, CMV,etc are all contact diseases from body fluids. I.E. contact with feces, urine. All found at a dump station.
There are RV'ers that do NOT use gloves at the dump station and then touch all that there is at a dump station. Lifting lid, handle on water spigot, and even the concrete/plastic bumper poles, etc.
IMHO wearing gloves when using a dump station is prudent and being smart. Not just being a germaphobic.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

That's exactly why I avoid dump stations altogether. I don't need to deal with that and I won't! I have a Macerator and take care of my black tank when I get home from camping. I take care of it at my convenience and there's no having to hurry up, no waiting in lines either. I just drive by the dump stations, smile and say to myself..."I'm glad I don't have to deal with that!"

We had a couple use the dump station the night before they left and then left us their overnight waste in buckets on the site. So we the hosts had to dispose of that and sanitize the area. People in general are pigs! Trash everywhere, even next to the trash can, toilet paper all over, smeared seats, smashed cigarette butts on the shower floor,and on and on. If you have never hosted, you would not believe what people are like.
