    Comrade, we visited the Communist era museum in Prague, it was fascinating.

    [Misc] Fly tipping - it's rubbish

    One comfort, genuinely, it's nice for me hearing that others are all doing the same. I've taught my kids to never litter, my 18 year old daughter sometimes helps me on clear ups. I'd be interested if the Greens or Labour locally at the next elections have any tangible plans on litter and...

    [Misc] Fly tipping - it's rubbish

    Same here using EBay, selling stuff for pennies, but then not asking for payment. Often to people who are very handy at repairs or who use the best components with those from other applicances, to then resell. Washing machines and tumble driers, a lawn mower etc. We tried Gumtree but its...

    [Misc] Fly tipping - it's rubbish

    We were in Prague last week. Even in the suburbs, walking miles each day, we just didn't see litter. Just once a few empty beer bottles near our hotel in a hidden corner. To my mind that means their 18 and 25 year old's aren't lobbing litter out of cars. Interesting. Most young people here...

    [Misc] Fly tipping - it's rubbish

    I had a not so funny mishap last year. On a bike ride over the Downs roads, I stopped to pick up litter, tucking it into my shorts. Little did I know that Earwigs were hiding in it. I didn't know that their pincers bites can cause a reaction, I had a huge itchy rash down one leg that took...

    I love the planet, I'd help pay for solutions. Asbestos, oil, tyres and plastics being dumped in our heritage is a low. This world and community is not just about human needs.

    [Misc] Fly tipping - it's rubbish

    My secret pastime is litter picking, then separating it by recyclables and other. I've been doing it for ages, I thought it was just me :smile: . I just get on with it on bike rides or walks. From the South Downs and also in our city, I must collect 1,000's of bits a year. Then I found out...

    What's happening here is two things: ESCC/WSCC/Highways Agency have zero interest in clearing litter, waste, tyres from the verges in Sussex. Using the H&S excuse. Some other counties do it thoroughly, in a way that protects staff. Where you've said there is a giant aluminium ladder in the...

    Make it low enough to catch flat-bed number plates.

    I'd pay more in council tax if it was guaranteed to be dealt with.

    Is that on the south or north side of the dual carriageway?

    Hidden CCTV at regular dumping places has caught quite a few offenders in Kent, local TV news often covers this. Perpetrators are fined heavily, I think there've been prison sentences too.

    Simply this, it would make a big difference. There would still be fly tipping, there are plenty of lazy scum in this country without care for community. 6 months minimum imprisonment if caught. It's not a victimless crime - plastics break up and reach water courses or the sea eventually...
