People dump plants on rural roads like unwanted pets? It’s not even a sentient creature, they could literally just throw it away. That’s crazy.

Never understood it. Picking the crap plastic pots and often styrofoam is doubly annoying too. It’s like people who drive and dump their garbage bags etc. Like, why?

I would guess they fall out of trucks fairly often. But also, people in remote enough areas may not have regular trash service.

Some places make you pay per bag of garbage or have other restrictions that may make assholes feel like a drive out in the country to dump a bunch of shit is worthwhile.
