Clean Up

I helped to show some high school kids some science a few weeks ago. One project was to clean up the Clinton Lake area (public land). One kid found an old computer monitor in the outlet stream. Why would someone throw this in a stream? We must need tougher government over-site right?
Or is it because current regulations make it difficult and expensive to get rid of old computer equipment. And which group has the older equipment, the poor. If someone threw a monitor on my land I would find out who it was and repay them. But on public land there's no incentive not to damage the land.
