The highway department has no problem with people stopping (pulling off the roadway far enough to not create a hazard) to pick up things on the side of the road. I have a friend who is an ADOT road crew supervisor. The ones who actually do the roadway clean up. He said he loves it when people help them dispose of debris. Saves them the trouble of picking it up. We drag race and have traveled all over. I could have made a killing from picking up every Coleman AC plastic cover I saw on the side of the roadway. Once while stopping to check a tire there was a plastic box like the kind people strap to their rooftops when traveling. It was just laying upside down off Highway 95 headed to Vegas near Searchlight. It had all kinds of camping equipment in it along with some nice folding chairs. No identification of any kind. We moved it closer to the side of the road so it could be seen. I was hoping the owner would back track and maybe retrieve it. On our return trip it was gone. Just did not feel right taking it. But any other stuff you find according to my buddy is fair game on Arizona's interstates and very much appreciated if you do remove it.
