Some Utahns say the amount of litter and graffiti left in the Utinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest has become a problem.
The trash has also been spotted around Tibble Fork Reservoir in American Fork Canyon. Visitors there said the amount of trash they see in the area depends on the day.
David Whittekiend, forest supervisor for the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest said this problem is widespread. It's not limited to Tibble Fork. "That's our last resort," Whittekiend said. "That's the last thing we want for our watersheds. When people have to go to the bathroom, they have to go to the bathroom. We want to manage human waste and we want to manage it in restroom facilities, not out on the forest."
"If they pack it in, please pack it out," he said. "It does cost more money for us to offer up trash services. That far into the forest, it's difficult to get anybody who's able to come up and pick it up." "A lot of people think someone else will do it for them," she said. "We helped on a cleanup up here and we got dozens of bags of trash that we picked up."
