Great thread for getting insight into people who act as if they know things when they don't.
There are two reasons.
One is the lack of enforcement, most rural areas have very small bureaucracies that cover large areas. So you very seldom see the nitpicky asswipes you see in a HOA. People have less motivation, and there is less ability to "shame" so less action is taken.
The other is there is no concrete place to dump, and some places it costs money. See above, most rural counties in the US have one or two dumping sites with rules, regulations and in many cases fees to dump. If you have an old water heater, it may cost you as much as $65 to dump it. Ditto other items. So the owner does the classic "I don't have $x to spend on this today, but I'll do it eventually" and the shit builds up. Many of these people couldn't raise $200 that isn't needed for bills. At least that part I know you guys can empathize with.
