My experience too in some of the best snake microhabitats. Most such trash heaps have been removed from public lands. But a collapsed building or two and lots of associated debris has often resulted in some of the most productive, memorable and unfortunately, well guarded snake hunting to be had these days. Back in the late 1960s, I had such a person threaten me until he saw why I was poking around an old ruin. That day yielded two big eastern kingsnakes. Once "said" individual saw those two snakes and the fact that I was removing them from the premises, he gave me an open invitation to come back as often as I wanted. Within five years, "said" individual had passed away and suburban development wiped that wonderful herp microhabitat off of the map forever...
