When I arrived at the SWXC camp site on Friday afternoon, the trash can was full, the trash can lid was missing and there was disregarded food still in its' orginal packages laying around the camp site in the grass and woods. Also the fire pit was full of empty beer cans and bottles.

I believe (my opinion) that giving the combination of the lock to anyone that is not a SWXC member will most likely either not lock it when they are done, thus possibly loosing the lock and/or will leave it locked and still full of trash. Or they may just leave it unlocked for anyone else driving by to throw their trash into the can as well, hence the same problem all over again. Once the combination is revealed to people outside of the club members what is to stop them from just dumping their trash into the can in the future and not empty it as well.

Removing the trash may help, by doing this it would force everyone/anyone using the camp site to be more responsible for all of their own trash/debris. Then again, without a trash can there on site, we may find even more trash left at the camp site when we return..........
