Winds me right up too!
Just this afternoon someone chucked their food container very near a bin and I said 'mate, there's a bin right there' he retorted 'you put it in then'.
Do it often, once got held against a shop window by throat when did it in Lewisham once tears ago!

People should just go home and have some nice toast. Fuck takeaways and their shitty jobs and shitty litter.

We need photos of ourselves disapprovingly pointing at litter or turds (accompanied by a misleading bar chart showing Labour Cannot Win Here)

I've seen some parks that have rolls of freezer bags attached to dog poo bins (in some cases possibly put there by 'do gooders' but others have looked official). How would this line up with the 'going not equipped' rule if you were on the way to one of these places?

The driver doesn't have to be disabled but a passenger may be. For example a blind person may appear to be able bodied but will have his arm linked with his partner to get into the shop? There are many other examples.

Yesterday I was following 2 blokes walking a dog on Primrose Hill. The dog had a shit just off the path whilst the fellas stood by chatting. Then they just walked off. I shouted "Oi, gonna clean that shit up!" and they just ignored me. I caught up, stood in front of them and asked again but they walked round me. Bugger all you can do really but I was fucking fuming for the rest of the day.

what you can't see is the dozens of speed limit road signs on that road that that little mob recently got put up.

Costs £23 quid here in Brum for a large rubbish collection.

Hardly getting over it.
So, in fact, you don't "strongly disapprove", you merely disapprove, and saying that you "strongly disapprove" is purely a form of self-identification that allows you to feel good about yourself while doing nothing to change what you disapprove of.

Washing machines have easy to access metal. Fridges have insulation glued to it - which explains why twice I've had them take a washing machine from my garden, and twice they removed the compressor from a fridge and just took that.

When i ask the young people i work with why they feel its acceptable to drop litter, the response is usually "well someone will clean it up, im keeping someone in a job"! Not to say its just young people, but i think that attitude is becoming prevalent. I personally hate it, especially if there is a bin nearby. Generally think people dont care and holding onto their rubbish until they find a bin is too much of a chore.
But i will NEVER for the life of me understand bags of household rubbish in public places? Surely everyone is provided with bins? Also, bags of old clothing - how hard is it to take to a charity or a clothing shoot?

The road i work on (in a fairly well to do part of London) seems covered with little bags of shit. I would have thought residents would have asked for bins.
I remember 3 years back I waged war against my local council after they didn't want to respond to my requests for a public bin. I was sick & tired of walking past various piles of dogshit before i got the end of my road. Coupled with another issue of nearby dumped rubbish in a concealed area, I refused to pay my council tax and got a Councillor involved. Eventually ended up getting 3 bins on my road! Litter/dogshit levels definitely reduced.

Anything metal will be gone round here literally within minutes, it's amazing how fast they work.
Blimey. Tha'ts a bit steep. 15 quid in Bristol for up to 3 items. Fre if you're on JSA, ESA.
Mostly people are very good at using litter bins. On Saturdays in my town you will often see lots of litter about but is is mostly around the full litter bins where people have tried to put their takeaway cartons etc. and they have fallen out of the top.
Having said that I am constantly baffled by the amount of chewing gum you can see on any pavement. You never see anyone chewing gum or throwing it down. I don't chew gum and don't understand the appeal of the stuff, but it only needs a shower of rain and it becomes clearly visible on the pavement. There is even a very expensive team of cleaners that are seen with steam jet equipment dealing with each individual piece of gum separately.

So many particulars. So many questions.
why is it neccesary to spit your gum into the urinal?why?
Where I live, if your bottle recycling wheelie bin or your cardboard/paper recycling bag goes missing - someone steals it - you get a free replacement. No questions asked.
If your rubbish wheelie bin goes missing for the same reason, you are asked if you are renting or not. If you are renting, you get a free replacement. If you are not renting, you are charged fifteen quid for a replacement bin.
The two bins are identical apart from the fact that one has a green lid and one has a grey lid. So why is one free for all and one only free for some?
To add insult to injury, the fifteen quid is not the charge for a new bin. No. It is the delivery charge. When mine was stolen I asked if I could avoid the delivery charge by going to pick up my free replacement for myself and was told that no. It was not permitted. I had to get it delivered. And I had to pay the delivery charge.
This sort of shit really annoys me. Who steals the fucking things in the first place? And why is it down to me to fund their bin stealing ways? So I am a person who puts their household rubbish in street bins. If I pay fifteen quid now for another bin and that one gets nicked, that'll be another fifteen quid, madam.
Bollocks to that.
For all I know the council are targetting the bins of non-rented houses and nicking them themselves to create revenue. Power hose them out and deliver your own bin back to you for yet another fifteen nicker. Wouldn't surprise me with our useless council.
Litter, dogshit winds me right up too. Though I admit to dropping rollup dogends in the gutter when I smoked.
I know some people's houses can be a right fucking state, so it's probably not that surprising the litterers are happy to live within their own detritus on the streets.
Dogshit is the fucking worst though. Coincidentily the last time I got shit on my shoes, I'd just gone out the front, to leave stuff for the council to collect, so wearing my in door shoes. Didn't realise til about 20 minutes later when the smell hit me. I'd walked all round the flat by then.
At least with guide dogs, the owner's who are exempt from picking up the crap, take the dog to some grass verge, (to spend it) where no one's likely to be walking or playing anyway. At home, they'd have a designated outside area and a bin.

Why indeed? Do some people do this? I have never seen it.
I take it you are a big fellah and not lacking in physical courage to take on two men in that way. Good for you.
