I think one of the problems is people see rubbish already dumped and think well why should I go searching for a rubbish bin when someone else hasn't aka monkey see monkey do.

The council chaps were cleaning up the Elderslie Road that runs past my place a few days ago and I bet they were pleased when they reached my nature strip.
I do a emu bob along outside my boundary when I put my wheelie bin out once a fortnight.
The LROCT has a Forestry road that it has adopted, it's a track in the Tasmanian Southern Forests and once a year a handful of club members meet with trailers at one end to clear away rubbish taking it to the local tip at the other end of that road.
I think that cleaning along side the road could be hazardous, the moron's would sling a bottle at your head, give them half a chance, so take care while doing your bit to keep the countryside clean.

Hey Arthur, when the trailers full and they arrive at the tip, who pays, do the council, due to the fact the guys have done the job of picking up "roadside rubbish", which effectively their domain, or does the club have to?
I think half the problem with people dumping in the cities/towns is due to the high price of dumping at the tip. Where our factory is in Clayton, which is only a couple of K's from the tip, is used as a dumping point for what seems to be every week :angrylock:
Even just driving down the FWY it's possible to see bags of rubbish just dumped at the side of the road.
