COLLINSVILLE - Thirty
farmers divided into a quarter
mile stretch of road frontage
equals seven bags of trash.
That’s the sum of the York
County Farmer’s Association’s
anti-litter “protest” staged last
week on the Dwight Taylor farm,
along Route 74 south of Red Lion.
The roadside rally was part of a
state-wide drive by the Penn
sylvania Farmers’ Association to
move the Bottle Bill out of com-

Braving early morning cold,
whipping winds, the trash
protestors stalked the litter along
Taylor’s quarter-mile stretch of
alfalfa acreage bordering the most
heavily-traveled highway in the
southeastern part of the county.
In the 15 minutes or so that it
took for the group to cover the
distance, seven feed bags were

While Taylor purchased the
farm some 26 years ago, he says
that it has just been in the last
decade that trash began to be such
a problem.
“When we bought it, my father
in-law suggested that buying land
with road frontage would be a real
plus. But as far as this trash
situation goes, road frontage has
been a real minus,” adds a

frustrated Taylor.
He does remember two instances
in which money was found during
pick up sessions. Taylor once found
five dollars, while his daughter
was fortunate enough to spot a ten
dollar windfall. Still, for the
wasted hours, the discarded feeds,
the broken machinery, Taylor
would trade that meager $l5 for
permanently clean fields any day.
Ellis Growl, president of the
county fanners group, recently
experienced his own problems with
trash. When his new tractor tire
and a broken bottle made contact,
it cost Crowl $BO to replace the
damage.
“We’re doing this (trash pickup)
for every farmer! ” Growl attested.
People find it difficult to throw
money away, but find it extremely
easy to throw away trash. We want
to upgrade beverage bottles and
cans from trash to something of
value.”
“The way to do that is to make
beverage bottles and cans
returnable by placing a deposit
value on them.”
As just one example of how trash
can be turned to cash, with a
little incentive Crowl cited the
case of a nephew of his who
recently earned $35 for a day of
picking up discarded, cans for
recycling from along rural high
ways near by.
Several York farmers were
among a group who met earlier
this week with state senators and
legislators to discuss the status of
the bottle bill and other issues of
farm concern. J.B.
