The Editor,

Re. "'Disgusted' at dumping on Coquitlam trail" (Letters, tricitynews.com).

I have to agree with letter write Martha Bijman. Litter is becoming a nuisance in our Port Coquitlam neighbourhood, too.

Residents in south PoCo are equally irresponsible and selfish. I live on a corner lot and people leave their unwanted stuff — dog poo in bags, beer cans and bottles, chocolate wrappers, fast food bags and loads more — on our boulevard and front lawn.

Just because we don't have fence along our property it doesn't mean anyone can dump their or let their dogs ease themselves on our yard. It's simply disgusting.

I wish more signs are put up to remind residents not to litter and pick up after their dogs.

S.T. Barathi, Port Coquitlam
