I just noticed this green cable sticking out in the middle of my backyard. It’s about 3/8” in diameter. Does anyone have any idea what it might be for?

And no, it’s not part of a plant. It’s plastic.

Where does it look like it's coming from and going to? It could be a many number of things including left over garbage.

It's probably coaxial cable from your lazy as fuck internet company that couldn't be bothered to bury it at the right depth.

Cut it and find out.

Never seen a cable company use green, they always use the basic black shit for runs, and orange for temp connections, that aren't buried.

OP, is that actually a cable, or a tube? Because I would guess it's an old irrigation line, like part of a buried drip line. Which is broken, which is why your yard is dirt in the middle.

OP here. I did some more digging. Turns out the piece from the OP pic is a handle for some sort of metal container. I don’t know how big it is but I’m not able to pull it out yet. I’m probably going to try to excavate the whole thing this weekend.

Thanks for your interest. Sorry if this result disappoints anyone.

My hoarder neighbours didn't have plumbing so they used to shit in buckets and store it in their shed. When they died the cleanup crew didn't know what to do with the shit buckets so they just buried them in the yard. Maybe that's what happened here too.
