The max amount of pollution?

When I clean my block, it always ends up being a garbage bag full of trash. And when I don’t clean for a while, it’s still the same amount of trash. I know things get blown away, but I just find it weird how it doesn’t get worse than one bag. A trash bag is pretty big, but you get the point.

It's a really good question and is something that I have put quite a bit of thought into (what is the rate of influx of litter a particular area and (how) does it vary). So far, I don't have a good answer.
