Garbage Pile Growing On Ice Covering Lake Winnebago

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wants people to enjoy the state’s natural resources, including the ice in winter time.  They just don’t want people turning it into a garbage dump.  A posting on Facebook shows a mound of garbage on the ice covering Lake Winnebago, located about three miles from Oshkosh.  The D-N-R says it is aware of several instances of littering on the big lake. Joe Priewe cleaned up the garbage that he saw, which included  41 bottles, 6 McDonald’s bags, oil filter box, work light box, shoebox, pizza box, a dozen or two Mcchicken/hamburger wrappers amongst other things.  Leaving litter on any Wisconsin lake is illegal
