Illegal dumping

A guy keeps doing this up the road from me. He dumps at the green area beside the lamppost. Doesn't leave here. DCC apparently caught him but they said its hard to secure a conviction against these dumpers.

They still come at you tho.
I had some recycle bags rejected and recieved a fine but fought it cos the collectors( f*cking p*xy bast*rding greyhound) left the bags about a hundred yards down the street, therefore I'd no way of knowing of they were mine or not. Appealed and won but warned by DCC it wouldn't be let go next time.
It would cost them more to chase up a dumper in court than it would to just pay people to collect rubbish as with the old system. They've realised this too late and privatised it.
Shortsighted decision? Wouldn't be like them at all.

You said "brand new car", that's your answer! They sacrafice paying for the garbage fees so they can "pretend" they can afford a brand new car in this economy. The jokes on them! Sad way to live I reckon.

They still have a brand new car to show for themselves though. I wouldnt support dumping rubbish around the place but still you cant blame people for trying to avoid the 'money traps' society sets for them

In the past few decades people have been getting used to paying to have their rubbish collected but that rubbish is useful to someone and can be sold on. I see illegal dumping as an inevitable consequence of making people pay to get rid of stuff. If recycling companies and councils paid people for their rubbish the problem would disappear fairly fast

I see people here in dublin paying to 'recycle' timber. To me timber is free fuel, yet you'd have to pay to get rid of it here

Exactly. It's a double ended profit for greyhound et al. They profit by charging for collection and profit by selling it on. Pure insanity expecting people to lie down for it.

I took a walk by the river here today. I was about a mile away from the town and in an area where it was impossible to drive a car. I looked down and saw a bag of empty glass jars. It looked like someone collected a load of Uncle Bens or Dolmio jars, walked to the middle of nowhere and dumped them.

A computer greeted me. No sign of the keyboard though.

Fly tipping is out if control here. I cycle a lot and its embarrassing to see the amount of black bags dumped at the side of the road. What amazes me is the stuff you'll find on remote places, like the UPC box sitting forlornly in the Dublin mountains near glenree. Or a mannequin leg I spotted on a cycle to Galway last year. But it seems to be the norm here to leave cans, bottles and house hold rubbish for others to pick up. It's an Irish thing.

The filth of the countryside is truly laid bare when motorway hedges and verges are cut annually.

When people go to the bottle bank and leave their empty cardboard box on the ground beside the bottle bank (neatly folded bags also), this is still dumping. It gets on my wick!!
Off topic, but maybe prisoners locked up for non violent offences could be made clean up the shiit or anybody convicted of dumping should be humiliated and sent out along the country roads with a bin bag, a pair of gloves and a "I'm a filthy cuunt" t-shirt on.

I know an idiot who left a cracked plate on top of a bottle bank because it wouldn't fit in the bin , got caught and was fined 150 euro's and even gave thought to going to court and arguing her point till a Garda friend suggested paying the fine.

That's exactly it, people think leaving stuff "beside" a bin or bottle bank is ok.

I live in an apartment/house complex. Bins are provided for waste and recycling. Why the fcuk I keep seeing broken down beds and all other sorts of crap in either bin has me dumbfounded.

Also saw a couple of lads come in and use our bins. Knew the code to get in and everything so someone gave it to them Big feckers so wasn't going to say anything but still cheeky!

Yeah the undergound car park in my place is full of bed frames, old tv's and couches as well. The caretaker only had a huge skip out about a month ago to clean it all out but there's more down there again.

And again, I seen some prick dumping bed frames and mattresses again over the weekend. Took his reg and what not gave the info to the management company.
