Dumping in Ireland

Augmerson

During the week I was taking a trip outside of my hometown to a restaurant with my Dad for breakfast. It was a national road, fairly quiet now since a bypass motorway was built nearby. Anyhow, we start noticing all these bags of rubbish just randomly scattered along the road to the side. Little plastic bags, the ones you get from Tesco or any shop.

Obviously someone had dumped their rubbish along the road, probably out of a passing car.

It's baffling because, back in town, there are street bins that they could have dropped the rubbish in to. If they could afford a car, to fuel it and tax it, surely they could have afforded to drive in a different direction and dump the rubbish properly?

What is with the mind of people who just dump their rubbish anywhere at all? It's really sad to see nice parts of the countryside littered with someone elses ****.

Not that baffling. Some people are just c**ts.

Did you have a full Irish or just the scrambled egg?

People are pigs

Or idiots

Or both

It's a shame but that's the reality of it

It's expensive to pay to dump. 6.00 a bag maybe... much cheaper to throw on side of road. less that a 1.00 of fuel.

Someone dropped their bags in the middle of the road you say? In broad daylight?

Look at the side of any road, main or rural, you will see litter everywhere. Dirty lazy feckers throwing it from their cars is ignorant and unnecessary. Hold it till you get home or to a bin. The penalties for being caught should be a week or two in jail, not a paltry fine, which is never imposed anyway.

Cheaper then by that logic not to acquire things that you will eventually have to dump, save the fuel no?

The nearest bus stop to me has a bin, but just a few feet away you see loads of bottles dumped on the grass. We are literally talking no more than 20 feet between the bus stop and grassy area beside someones wall.

I will be honest, i've often used to bin to throw away a few bottles and cans. But that 20 feet is just 'asking to much' - You know yourself.
