Filthy litterers

[DAMINK]

I love driving in the bush and plantations around here.
But what really annoys the hell out of me is the damn people who throw there rubbish there like its a tip.
Well it went too far yesterday. Going for a walk with the family yesterday and this is what i seen.



God damn needles! Filthy ******!
So the plantation owners put signs up to advise people not to dump.
Clearly that has been misunderstood.



Wife lost it and ended up calling the local council over the needles.
They are apparently cleaning it up now.

Not only dirty locals dumping either.
Here are some tyres some one dumped. I assume a tyre place.....
There used to be a lot more there actually.



Even a freezer with a couple of dead cows in them. (cows now gone)



Just shake my head in disgust some times i really do.

Totally agree, it's disgusting. Some people are just filthy pigs.

I hate people that dump waste. Bastards.

Average cost for Council to take a 6x4 trailer of rubbish to landfill is about $80. Many tips and recycling centres are cheaper than this. It's substituted by your rates. My point - rubbish is expensive to the community and you either pay for it yourself or the community pays for it. And if the Council have to send staff to clean it up this costs the community too. Either way, reduce reuse and recycle and take responsibility for your own bloody rubbish!

2 things stop me from just cleaning it up myself.
Money and no trailer lol. I have loads of time. Im not kidding though. It offends me enough that i WOULD just clean it up and take it to the tip if i could.
I do "harvest" any steel i find. Mostly because im a scab a bit lol. Free steel is good steel to me. Beyond that i cant do anything about it really.
Just vent my annoyance to it as often and to as many people as i can.
And i do!

Ya know there are many cool tracks around here that i like to go to that are owned by those plantation guys. They dont seem to mind us getting stuck in there plantations.
They could be all DONT DRIVE HERE but let it go because they know its a fun place.

Dumping rubbish there is not going to help anyone as you said above. We all pay one way or another.

Needles though. I mean really? Cant these sort of people get rid of them free anyway? If they cant they should!!
I have 4 kids i take walking there several times a week.
We look for lizards, snakes, roos, wallabies, echidna, kookaburras and everything else this beautiful place has to offer.
Its medicine to us! To all of us. Time away where we are in nature and away from tech stuff. Last thing you want is rubbish or FLIPPIN needles!!

Im telling ya now mate. I would loose my mind if one of my kids stood on a needle.
I guess thats why the wife got so huffy about it..... Cant blame her.

Sorry for the long rant. Just annoys the hell out of me.

I'm another one that gets very angry over illegal dumping. To dump syringes means they have no respect for themselves, so of cause they could not give a rats arse about anybody else.

Local rubbish dumps charge a lot to dump (about $300/tonne) there so people take the easy way out.

Our local council has covert video cameras set up in regular dumping spots.

Lake Macquarie council do the same and they also put gates and fences across well known dumping spots. Part of the problem of illegal dumping is (in my opinion) the high charges for trying to do the right thing, but dumping syringes like that is at another level of complete idiocy.

Thats what i fear will happen.
Gates will be put up.
The small few ruining it for the rest of us.

I have seen this a lot. Dont get me wrong. These pics are but a few.
I have no idea who is actually doing it but its just as likely its a local clean up mob for rental properties or something like that.
There often seems to be a lot of property. Almost like a cleanout or breakup sort of thing.

No way to know but when the wife spoke to the council they said they have ways of finding out who dumped it.
I hope that was not a bluff but expect it was.
Do i feel bad that she called the council? Yea l a little to be honest. But what if the next family went for a walk and there kids walked over it?
Thats the way i choose to look at it.
I know ultimately its going to cost the average joe for it. And may have fences put up over it.
But short of me fishing through rubbish to find the needles i dunno what we as residents of the area should do.

Don't feel bad. She did the right thing.
