The new recycling system

elperello

To all the posters glorying in the antics of the littering blackguards in Glenageary.

The people who did that are your worst enemies.

They are the type of people who would throw rubbish into your front garden and laugh at you when you come out to clean it up.

They'd dump their domestic rubbish all over the open spaces in your estate.

If you live rurally they would fly tip all over your back roads and ditches. Turn your fields into dumping grounds.

And you are supporting them ?

Wake up !

Lidl is a private business, ergo not a public place. They can refuse to serve you and ask you to leave for any reason as long as it is not discriminatory.

Ironically if they don't keep their business tidy they are littering.

In addition to the above offences, as a business owner you are breaking the law when:

• You create litter due to a business activity, and/or associated with loading, transporting or handling of goods.

legally speaking as far as the courts see, it's the stores responsibility to ensure that their premisis is clean and hazard free at all times. if anyone has an accent on those cans or falls over on any that has spilled out of the bag and onto the floor, it is the store that is held liable. The store entirely gets the blame in a court of law and are held liable to ensure the safety of their customers.

The only situation i can imagine if the store isnt held liable, is if they had signs up telling people DO NOT LEAVE BEHIND EMPTY CANS/BOTTLES, and if they actually made the effort to clean the area regularly, and the accident happened just like 2-5 minutes after the bag was placed there. its unreasonable for it to be removed by staff in that amount of time and could easily argue they did everything in their power to prevent it.

if the store had a sign up saying no dumping blah blah, and people still dumped their bags it would be illegal dumping not loitering. But this isnt trash its a commodity/resource that was brought to the premises with the intent of them being recycled as they were instructed. As far as those persons are concerned, they were simply doing their bit for the enviroment, did their part but the machine had let them down and not done its part. they met them half way and was nothing more they could do to ensure the items were recycled other than leaving them there. Also Alot relating to the scheme still isnt made clear as it has been a mess from the get-go with all sorts of conflicting informations, and some old outdated informations still going around too. This all could have been avoided if the machines accepted all cans and if return were not being so stingy.

Also alot of what another person had posted about all of the cans being non-scope or out of scope is entirely speculation based only off of the ones he's seen in the picture, but even if its true. The consumer sees it as the stores problem now as they had done their own part and rest is left up to the store to deal with. Unless the store decides to make it clear that stuff isnt allowed to be left behind, people will keep on doing it.
