Beautiful Rockaway River, frankly I’m depressed and ashamed

Live in Morris county and been a fisherman my entire life. In Dover in the Rockaway/Dover boarder is this little stretch of the Rockaway river. What’s also important is that this is the Lakeland Bud Terminal parking lot. So no idea if this is private property or the towns, but it’s so out of control. Every time I’ve been fishing in this area (years) I always leave with a bag of garbage.No matter how much we collect, it just ends up worse every time. Seems like people just dump whatever wherever they want and nobody really does a thing about it. If it was private property or the towns, you’d think at least there would be no dumping or lot monitored by camera signs. Anybody have advice? We reported it today and the EPA is sending out someone to look and remove the toilets, but it’s just frustrating. These towns piss insane amounts of money away on worthless crap all the time, and things like this just get ignored. And if it’s the bus companies responsibility to take care of their lot and property pollution, I wonder if repeated attempts will get them to do anything more than the bare minimum.
