I'd love to see these turds get busted but it's almost impossible to catch them in the act.

That said, it depends. I've carried out entire trash bags filled with other people's garbage a few times. If I find just a bit of trash I'll pack it out, but I don't always pack out a camp's worth of trash if my pack is full and I'm on my way in and just passing by it.

We have volunteer groups that do clean up on occasion here, but we also pay taxes to maintain these areas so I expect those we pay to get in there and deal with this too.
