IF the morons have room in the 4 x 4 for the full beer bottle/coke can then they have room to take the empties out and dispose of them properly.

Large parts of UK/Europe etc are just like rubbish dumps dont let the morons ruin your wonderful countryside!

Absolutely!
There's nothing quite like arriving somewhere and feeling like you're the first to ever see it (even though you know you're probably not), only to have the illusion shattered, literally, by broken glass under foot!

I despise the trash that throw trash out of their bloody cars. These sort of people give me the SH*TS big time. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Last time i hit Bunyip I reckon i picked up about half a dozen cans and bottles along Andersons Track. They had only recently been dropped there judging on thier near new look.

I also hate drop kicks that turf their smoke butts out of the window too, lazy damn slobs.:mad::mad::mad::mad: Saw it 2 nights ago on the Nepean Highway near Frankston but didn't get the rego ........

I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to start ringing that EPA number and i'm going to start reporting these morons if i see them. i have had it with these disgusting lazy sloths.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

I reckon we should all get on it and make these people accountable. Ruin my bloody country, I'm made as hell about this sort of thing and I'm going to do something about it ......

Sorry about my madman rant but it really irks me man, it's just plain stupid and rude to chuck stuff out of your car ...... :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I think the example that I found hardest to believe was at the Dig Tree in the '80s.

There was a 200 litre drum placed less than 50 metres from one Australia's most significant reminders of one of the most tragic events in the age of exploration.

Someone had obviously made an attempt to prevent morons from despoiling the place with their litter, but it didn't quite work because the drum was full and the amount of litter piled around the drum would have added up to over 500 litres.

There should have been no need for a rubbish bin in the first place. As several people have already said, if they had space to transport the cans in full, they had space to transport them out empty.

People littering the side of the road or parts of the bush is one thing. Surely treating such an historically important place that way is something worse.

All I can say is "Yep I Aree"
:(:(.

Isnt there the story of a pensioner couple funding their trip to south australia by collecting cans/bottles in their trailer en route and cashing them in at SA to get the 5cent levy??? I always considered it an urban legend.
Havent seen too many "can scabs" working the roads lately,perhaps the rising fuel price has priced them out of the market.
I agree,if you CAN manage to cart it in full,you CAN cart it out empty(or dispose of in a good campfire)

on a good fire night we can burn a can in under 20seconds :whistling:

I agree with all the above. A couple of further comments -

1. The drought round here has led to a the rubbish being much more visible over the last few years.

2. I am still cleaning up from the firefighters after the fire last year - some of them left a lot of water bottles lying round, plus a few soft drink cans in the forest adjoining me.

3. Worth thinking about - the bottle dumps surrounding outback towns but dating from the nineteenth century are now considered part of out heritage and in most cases cleaning them up would be illegal! In similar fashion, the litter of mining from bygone years is also heritage listed - current mining projects, where pretty thorough cleanup is required are going to be cursed by archaeologists in a hundred year's time!

I've got to get me a knew way of thinking:twisted:

Come anywhere with me and leave your rubbish and see if you make it back to your vehicle without an axe dint in your forhead. Nothing ****es me off more than retards throwing crap out the window. ESPECIALLY CIGARETTE BUTTS.

On that note, did you know a total fire ban INCLUDES lighting or having a lit smoke.

I never throw any rubbish from my car - my passenger footwell is testament to this. :)

Annoys me too

- take their rego number, clour, type of car and REPORT THEM TO THE EPA ( only possible in Victoria unfortunately )

In most cases, the EPA will send them an infringement notice.

Litter - EPA Victoria



As of the 1st of July, 2008 fines for throwing litter from a car are as follows:

• On the spot fine - $227
• In court - $4537

You can also report smokey exhausts.

They could probably easily get out of it by sending a stat dec, but at least it would give them a wake up call getting a notice in the mail.
