Trash in trail magic boxes/water caches

I’ve been seeing a ridiculous amount of trash put in trailside boxes that are for trail magic or water caches. If there is a trash receptacle and it’s overflowing, take your trash with you. If there is no trash receptacle, take your trash with you. This is common sense. It’s quite disappointing to see a bunch of adults treat trail magic boxes that still have good items in them like their personal trash bin. if you see people doing this, please correct them. You agreed to leave no trace and to take your trash with you. It’s very disappointing to me, we are supposed to be a better community than this.

Edit: You people are idiots, sorry. If your idea of being responsible is to continue to dump trash into an overflowing bag or can so that it can blow all over or is literally overflowing onto water bottles so that others have to sift through your trash… you are literally a trash human.
Also the 2nd photo is of a bin of freeze dried food that someone left by the road, filled with good food, yet people started stuffing trash into it. Let’s use some common sense people, no one wants to dig through your trash because you’re selfish and lazy. Putting trash in an overflowing container so it can litter the surroundings is just mind blowing.
