Mountains of pasta lined a creek in the woods in New Jersey.
A Facebook post from an alert samaritan in New Jersey City, United States, helped local authorities mobilize to clean up a massive mess caused by edibles dumped in the woods.
Nina Jochnowitz, a resident of New Jersey’s Old Bridge Township, was shocked to discover piles of macaroni and cheese scattered all over her area. She used the food waste mess — which could have provided food for many — to draw attention to the area’s poor waste management practices.
She shared the footage on Facebook and wrote, “It’s no surprise to us in the 6th Ward that we’re seeing the dumping of construction debris and other trash in all neighborhoods. This week saw a new kind of overeating dump, PASTA.”
“A good estimate is that more than 500 pounds of pasta was dumped next to the streams that cross Hilliard and Mimi.”
“While it has been reported to our city manager (myself), and I think someone forwarded my message about this to the no-can-do mayor knows…and his CaL girls, they will ignore this food waste…,” she continued.
