Homeless not only ones contributing to Portland's trash problem
This socialist experiment is run by a five member committee who look around, then at each other, and blink.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland has a big trash problem. You see it on the streets, along the interstates, and scattered in parks. So, who's tossing all of it? It's easy to point the finger at homeless people, but the answer isn't so simple.
Al Held lives in a camper, just off 33rd Avenue in Northeast Portland. His is one of the tidier spots. In front of him and behind him, there's litter as far as the eye can see. Some of it was dumped there just hours before we met him.
"There was a guy driving some big semi-truck, like a moving semi-truck, and there was a guy in the back of it and was rolling down the street, and he just starting throwing stuff out," said Held.
