Good effort.  Next up.... massive advertising billboards and the electrical wire mess.

If they do they will cut the poles off with a 4 inch grinder and leave about 3 inches sticking up from the pavement !  Have seen it done. very dangerous for pedestrians.

What are you looking at? Looking for D i ck.

 

Im really wanting to ask if anyones found any yet. Maybe put an arrow facing a more likely spot would be pehaps more productive.

I thought most of those low hanging wires were telphone/internet cables? I stand to be corrected though.

Ther are literally millions of signs that need to be cleaned out.  Sign trash visual pollution.  It’s mostly hanging trash
