Authorities should intervene and do something to rectify the waste disposal problem at...

But the irresponsible behaviour of people leaving trash behind was bothering so much, they just leave the trash there where they picnicked or camped. You are the one who brought all the bags full of food, but forgot to take back thinking someone else will come to pick it for you so you are wrong. You are just contributing to destroy the environment.
I hope people show some responsibility and take the trash with them and throw it out to the designated place. Disappointed with the irresponsible...
