I think this qualifies ...
I would also be very annoyed, especially because of the costs involved.
Some waggon driver is an anti-social shite ...
e2a - that pile of waste looks like it was intended for an incinerator ?

Janet Atkins believes the cost of removing the waste will be about £10,000.

I hate all of it (I suppose maybe some un-intentional stuff id forgive), but reading stoneroads post Id say yea, definitely levels
That looks like it's an electric one too, possibly a high one? If so that ought to make tracing the last user easier, although it also puts less onus on the borrower to not be a dick.
Surprisingly little litter on my regular Saturday morning jaunts this morning, although I did kindly deliver a couple of Dominoes boxes back to the retailer.

that's either TWOCer's at work or someone who can't/won't tax/mot/insure or a car with a serious fault.
dumping "scrap" cars has always happened, I used to live near an estate notorious for TWOC incidents and the ejjits would dump n run from all corners.
I ended up with one car parked on my front lawn once - at 02:00 ! Stolen from a short distance North, driven like a maniac and then dumped and the group ran the last bit to home. Thankfully they were out of time as they usually torched the car.
The copper chopper was right on their tails, though ...
turned out they were also drunk / drugged to the eyeballs and once home started a couple of fights ...
The writing on the wall behind the first two cars may suggest the answer lies with the UK intelligence agencies.

"No one leaves till everything's picked up.
Every piece of litter I find 10 press ups"
Having once had to crawl round a wood block as a fag butt had been found in it. It was a horrible sight.

All the local kids steal Lime bikes all the time. It’s very easy. My 10 year old knows how to do it.
So I would imagine the last person who used it probably left it parked and it was then nicked and yeeted into the river.

Apart from the obvious, the materials in the motors and batteries are going to badly pollute the river.

Is it or isn't it littering
"However, according to a council assessment of its contract with District Environment, 10 penalties were issued to people in the borough for urinating or defecating during a 10-month trial period in 2021-2022."
"Kirklees in west Yorkshire, however, recently issued an order that treats public urination not as littering, but as an anti-social act under the Section 59 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014."

Why was a man who took a wee in a layby fined for littering?

Just enjoyin' my coffee.
Today, some dirty fucker left a couple of shitty nappies against the wall of my house, as well as a cardboard box full of rubbish and rotting food. Utter utter fucking arseholes.
When I went to Zimbabwe I had food poisoning and terrible diarrhoea. There were no motorway service stations, so I took a bog roll from the hotel in Victoria Falls and went for shits every hour or so, just in the side of the highway, all the way back to Harare (about a 12 hour drive).

Forget cars and electric bikes, the annual dumping of Christmas trees has begun
Right gets my goat does that, one minute it's the much loved focus of a fab family occasion, the next it's carried a couple of streets away and abandoned

A "few years ago" I recall one local council came around with a chipper to collect up the dead tree, as a free service, and the chips went to a park for surfacing a path or three / mulching the shrubberies.
In another local area this year the scouts are collecting, but you have to book & pay.
I've a live tree to repot next week ... {polishes halo}
and a load of tree pruning to do, those arisings end up in the "wild wood" as mulch /stick piles for wildlife.
[may have a fox in the refuge atm]

Wandsworth will go around making special collections. I don't know what they will do with the trees and hate to think how much it will cost.

My initial reaction was ‘what the fuck is a 34 year old doing on Urban75?!’
Then i realised it’s a 9 year old thread.
I’m with you btw. People who litter are cunts. They were in 2015 and more so now.

Doesn't your local council have a drop off point for trees? Reading council does and they are shit at most things.Forget cars and electric bikes, the annual dumping of Christmas trees has begun

Why bother taking it somewhere when you can dump it in the street!

Round here the council collects them from the street, people make ad hoc piles and one of those pick ups with a big cage on the back comes round and takes them. They do get recycled somewhere.
In recent years there seems to be a trend for buying potted ones to be green or something, but still putting them out as rubbish after Christmas. We rescued one a couple of years ago that is now growing in a pot in the back yard.

Round where one of my friends used to live, one of her neighbours just used to chuck used nappies out of the window onto the street outside. Proper filthy scuffers, but that’s East End Park for you.

my kids little hood is an absoloute dump at the moment. on every corner a filthy infestering fly tip. i would honestly have no qualms about that being a 1 year sentance if caught. zero. the place is like a literal refuse site. oh but they might not have car/can't afford teh collection. i don't give a fuck. leave it in your house until you can.
