I found a bag of rubbish...

    As some here may know, I like walking up around the Hell Fire Club, Killakee/Dublin Mountains area... Recently I've noticed a big increase number of bags of rubbish being taken to to this area and dumped illegally, by scabby c*nts who are too mean to buy a bintag. This area for those that don't know it, is a beautiful countryside mountain area in south Dublin, but recently it's been blighted by burnt out cars and people dumping rubbish illegally.

    So yesterday I drove up to the Hell Fire Club car park and parked my car up there and went for a walk. There were no bags of rubbish on the road on my way up. I went for my walk and got into my car and taking the same route home, I was barely out of the car park area and came across 3 bags of rubbish that were several bags of rubbish in the left hand lane of the road and were definitely not there two hours earlier.

    I stopped and got out and had a look, and it looked like the bags had been thrown out of a moving car or van, as one had busted open on hitting the ground, or possibly another car had contacted it. Anyway, there looking back at me was an Eircom bill!

    I took the three bags of rubbish and put them behind a nearby wall and took the Eircom bill home... Now I'm in two minds as to what to do here... I can report the matter to the Co. Council (was already onto the Gardai who said they don't want to know, or in their own words, "not our problem, contact your local authority")...

    So I'm left with 3 choices, well 2 really...

    (1) Do nothing, not my style...

    (2) Report to County Council...

    (3) Take said bags of rubbish and disperse on front garden lawn of address as stated on Eircom bill...

    Personally I'm with option 3...

    Just looking for other opinions on this....

    Option 3 would be the most amusing. Although option 2 would be the sensible thing to do. I'd go for the third option.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Option 3 may see you getting the littering fine, not the original person.
    That's if you're caught in the act!
    How are your ninja skills Darragh :cool:

    Contact the local authority is the sensible option and what I would choose

    Too much CSI imo.

    Option 3 with pics please! You have a golden opportunity here mate, whatever you do seize the opportunity!

    My opinion is that illegal dumpers are rather stupid leaving an eircom bill in the bag.

    Even if the county council didn't find it, some undesirables might find the bill and use it for identity thief.

    Darragh, i feel your angry. I saw someone throw a take away tray (kinda thing garlic chips come in) on the ground on Henry st when they were in arms reach of a bin. I just don't understand it.

    I'd wear a balaclava! I reckon option 2 is for losers! Cutbacks, blah blah blah, nothing will get done...

    that shredder's the best thing i ever bought!!:pac:

    option 2, with a letter addressed to the dumper letting them know.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    Post the details online and offer to send the Eircom bill to anyone that wants it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,366 ✭✭✭luckat


    Ring RTE radio's Drivetime programme and bring them with you as you politely return it to the person who owns it. This person may not have done the littering - it may have been 'disposed of' by an agent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,384 ✭✭✭Highsider


    2


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,097 ✭✭✭Darragh29


    Pay the bill.

    Or I could write to Eircom and cancel his phone line & broadband connection, but he wouldn't make the connection (no pun intended!), with that course of action and his dumping his rubbish up the mountains...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Nah my idea is better :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,907 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    I'd go with Option 3 as well. Be aware, though, you might get done for littering if the neighbours report you:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,051 ✭✭✭Whosbetter?


    This could be a case for 'Face Kicker'

    Where is he when you need him?


  • Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    give us the address and we'll all dump our rubbish on their doorstep for a week

    This is the kind of "fast effect" justice we can hope for in a recession!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    Beleive it or not. You have made the situation worse.

    1. If the bill was the only evidence you have taken it from the site.
    2. If you report the evidence it will be asked how do you know. When you say you took the bill it will become their word against yours
    3. You may not believe this but the law assumes now that person is innocent and you are in possession of their identity. You can be done for identity theft.

    Although that said report the fcukers. They are onlu scum. Its the state of the country we are in and the problem is getting worse

    I know thw are you walk..its lovely

    Cool I just looked back at the option I like that one.

    Can I give you a better idea. Wait until there is a **** load of rubbish there and leave the bill in amoungst it. That will sort it..... Then for good measures throw a couple of bags over their lawn and pour lard down their drains......:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Only joking dont get upset I admire your sense of pride Its not worth getting upset over them,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    Option 3! Option 3! Option 3!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Scan the bill and link it then, it'll be all over the place in no time at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭DigiJem


    Give their name/address to An Posts direct marketing division...and Option 3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,798 ✭✭✭Local-womanizer


    Even if the county council didn't find it, some undesirables might find the bill and use it for identity thief..

    I'd call all the numbers on their phone bill and let everyone know that they should be at this persons address at a certain time. Then when the crowd arrives hand them back their rubbish. Nothing like a bit of shame!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Peared


    OP there is actually an organisation specifically to deal with this.

    They are called PURE and will clean the rubbish up and look for a prosecution.

    Google and call them. Ian Davis is the man you want.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,097 ✭✭✭Darragh29


    I'm defo going to put their number into an ad for an exceptionally priced car into all the usual rags, buy & sell, carzone, autotrader, etc...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭lionela


    You have in your possesion an Eircom bill that you found in the offenders rubbish.
    You should have put it back in the bag and called the relevent people that are responsible for bringing the offenders to court for this kind of offence.

    Having a Bill with someones address at this stage I don't think will go far...the owner can deny it . He/she could say you got it in their Green bin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,472 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Option 3 man...you know in your heart and soul it's that one for you ;)

    Besides those fcukers deserve it.
    Do it at about 3am in the morning when all are in bed...and get ready to leg it if a nosy neighbour spots you..
    Leave your car out of view so no one gets the number plate :)

    Pint of Carlsberg.

    There's always an option C.

    Fu*k organisations. If the organisation that is actually responsible for dealing with these tramps was any good, I wouldn't be posting my thoughts on here!

    Is this like Adverts.ie/free stuff? If so ill take it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,114 ✭✭✭doctor evil


    Option three. Then put a firework through the letter box.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 973 ✭✭✭Super Sidious


    Prince Naseem Umbungo Nigeria Tanzania the 366th would pay top dollar for the Eircon bill, and at least allow you to get some of their 200million fortune which you can acquire 5million of it if you send 5k plus the Bill to them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,801 ✭✭✭✭Gary ITR


    Option 3, and pics or it didn't happen.

    Or you could take a photo of the rubbish, photo of the bill, blow it up and put it in the window of all of their local shops

    I had a similar incident to the OP last week in the Dublin mountains. Bag contained a few bills with the dumpee's address on them but also some paperwork from her work. I disposed of it in my own bin at home as it was starting to blow all around the countryside and thats not cool:mad:


    Anyway we had a sqizz through some of the paperwork in it and one of the pages was a sales league table for the frilly knickers store in O'Connell Street (Culchie Edit: O'Connell Street means Dublin 1 and its a frilly knickers shop).
    The page showed all the products they sold over a full week. Thanks to the littering ways of a certain employee I can now inform After Hours that last weeks frilly knickers shop top 5 countdown is:

    No.5- Black Satin Suspender Skirt, x 6 =€84

    No.4-Black Dita Balconette Bra, x 6 =€108

    No.3- Black Charmed Bra, x 6 =€120

    No.2- Black Romance Short, x 7 =€56

    and the number 1 is....

    Fur Love Cuffs, x 11, €88



    So Culchies, the moral of the story is that Dublin chicks like black lingerie and being handcuffed to the bedposts. Don't be bringing your rusty sheep shackles up to Dublin for the GAA weekends, fur is the only way forward when you're on the pull in the big smoke.

    And to ***** O'*****, its no wonder you couldn't afford to pay a few quid for a bin tag, you missed your sales targets by a country mile.

    Why not just sign them up to subscribe to certain "magazines" and add them to the mailing lists of dubious organisations.

    An anonymous note from the "wicklow beavers" telling them, will make them think twice about dumping!
    and option 3!

    Good one. And end up with more crap dumped illegally :rolleyes: :D

    I've had a quite a few loads dumped around my area in the past few years. The worst ones are builders - twice (and more than likely the same person) they dumped a van load of used materials into the nearby field. Blocks, Baths, sinks, plywood, pipes etc. I'd even tried to salvage a few bits but its usually crap. On a few occasions though I have gone through the rubbish and found bills. I called the litter warden who showed up fairly quick and told me he "would look into it". Never heard anything after that. Once it turned out to be my next door neighbour! A few words were had.

    I would be very tempted with option 3! Someone need to be taught a lesson. Even if was dumped by an 'agent', it will give the message not to use that 'agent' again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭omahaid


    It goes into step 2 doesnt it?

    Step 2: ???
    Step 3: profit!

    Name? (tick)
    Address? (tick)
    phone number? (tick)

    Sorted! :D

    You could also set up "remote charging" on some phone calls!
