Rubbish

[Deleted member 77198]

It’s not just litter, it’s fly tipping that’s a big problem n’all. Lazy scruffy cunts are too abundant in society. Don’t get me wrong, the vast majority of people aren’t like this, but the minority - as always - ruin it for the majority.

What gets me is the complete lack of pride these slobs have in themselves but also in their environment and locality. They don’t seem to care that it makes them look a total slobby ****. But they also don’t seem to care that they’re making the area they live in look like an areas where slobby cunts live and making their area look like shit.
I’m really proud of where I come from, I have respect for the place. I wouldn’t dream of littering of fly tipping, never in a million years. I want to keep the area in live in looking nice, clean and tidy.

Imagine what these cunts’ gaffs look like. If they’re happy to be seen as a scruff in public, imagine what they do in their own homes!

for a start the government could re-introduce deposit schemes on bottles and cans . Vehicle registration put on all take-a-ways . And a £500 reward for anyone catching rubbish being thrown for vehicles by dash cams and the like . Payable by the offenders along with a cleaning up bill from the local council .

I wrote to my MP years ago about registrations on takeaways and he gave loads of reasons I can’t recall of why it could not be done.

I saw a post of tramps who had gone to a beauty spot in the Lake District, camped and left all their shit behind. I mean, what sort of a **** goes to a beauty spot to admire it then trash it? That’s rhetorical.

I saw two mattresses dumped on the hard shoulder of the M60 near Ashton a few weeks back. I mean, what sort of thick twat does that? Hopefully one of the many cameras have picked this up.

Our neighbourhood did a litter pick last year and collected over 100 bin bags in one morning.

It's all part of the narcissistic world we live in. I'm afraid. Teach people that the individual is more important than the whole and this is what you get.

The girlfriend and I picked up two carrier bags of rubbish from the woods at Warwick racecourse this morning.

It’s happening all over the world, on land and in oceans. And there supposed to be a generation and future generation that should understand to take care of the environment. They don’t.

And every possible problem comes down to the one and only conclusion: there are too many people on this Earth taking without giving back, with 80% human beings working or starving for the 20% that is over-consuming.

This is probably going to sound old fashioned but my solution? Get the parents to do what obviously happened with most of the people on here; when the children are toddlers, hand their litter to Mum or Dad to put in their pocket/bag to be disposed of either in a convenient bin or when they get home. As they get older they become responsible for putting it in their own pocket and doing the same. It is what I did with my children and they have done with theirs and the last time (*sad face*) I was allowed to go out for a walk with my granddaughter and her children she did with them.

It then becomes ingrained and a good habit. When I first did it with mine there were very, very few litter bins but dropping things on the floor was a no no!!!

Rant over, sorry.

I remember when the Keep Manchester Tidy office of Keep Britain Tidy sent leaflets through doors about ten years ago which said “DON’T BE A TOSSER, KEEP MANCHESTER TIDY”.

Yet a local councillor (think she was from Stockport) complained about the use of the word tosser, rather than emphasising the point about littering. Her demand was an explanation about why KMT used the word tosser, rather than support for the cause.

When you’ve got people like that doing the wrong thing, you know you’re fighting a tough battle.

Only scum litter.

It's not just rags though, is it?

The 75 year old next-door has never used his recycling bin in 18 years. Everything goes into landfill. It's the councils job he says

Then twice a year they would fly off somewhere to go on a cruise the ship pumping out its own shit pollution plus the actual shit from passengers into the seas without a thought for anyone.

Was proud of my grandson last summer after his mum took him and a friend for a walk in local woods. He was 8 and upset by the rubbish by the duck pond and asked if they could go back the next day with bags and pick it up - which they did :)

In East Cheshire lanes you can find black bags of household rubbish, builders waste of all types, cardboard boxes for big TVs, kids toys and on one lane about a mile there is a waste - bin on a pole - not sure why it's there at all - but shopping bags of household rubbish are left propped against it. Most of these piles have been driven there into the middle of nowhere and dumped. They could have been easily driven to one of the many tips but no. Often animals get into bags rip them open and there is mess everywhere. None of this is done by kids or protesters or ravers. It's done by residents of 3 and 4 bedroom new detached houses with bins and with the ability to drive the excess to the tip.
I cant understand why people do this.
