I've seen it in parking lots too.  It may be time to enforce littering fines.

Who and how would they be doing that?

@Pearlee  Seriously?! What is wrong with people is right! 😧

So uncaring and disgusting! Someone has to pick all of this up too and these could be contaminated

I thought it was only in my area. Very disturbing, thoughtless and dangerous

We went to a grocery store and they were handing out wipes so people could wipe down  the grocery cart before they went into the store. The parking lot had well over 100 of the wipes littered around the parking lot.

Then I went to a drug store to pick up a prescription and right in front of the entrance to the store on the ground were disposable gloves and wipes.

Makes me sad to think I live around these people.

This may offend some people....

I took my youngest with me to do drive-by errands (banking, post office and Burger King) as the kid hasn't been out of the house in a month other than our deck. We have to pass by Costco and a super center Walmart to get to the bank and then to the post office. Due to traffic by the Costco (and Lowes and Aldi's and Trader Joes all in the same center) we wound up driving through the parking area of Costco. Didn't see any masks but boy, gloves were everywhere: pink ones, blue ones and cream colored ones. The pattern of removal was obvious because they were between cars (where the driver would get in/out) and not in the middle of the road. My son noticed it before I did. "What are all those plastic things...bags?" he asked. We started looking together and it was gloves. 

Going past the Walmart we saw them as well but not as bad. Saw none at Aldi's or Trader Joes (well, he didn't as I was driving, lol). When we arrived home he said "you know mom, adults are disgusting. They have no respect for the planet." He looked away for a moment and then said "all the good people who died from this thing? Should be the ones who littered the planet with their gloves. Selfish people don't belong here".

Out of the mouth of babes.

Lots of people litter. I probably fill three or four trash bags a year from trash people throw out into my front yard. I've only had one medical glove since this started, but I handled it like toxic waste to get rid of it. We've had soiled diapers (both adult and child-sized) tons of fast-food wrappers and drink bottles. Even the occasional shoe ends up in my yard. It's nuts. I have to walk the yard before mowing to make sure I've got everything.

People are posting on nextdoor app all the loose gloves they are finding on the ground. Regular gloves not the disposable kind.
