I walk a lot, usually somewhere near the river if Im at home. On these walks I often see lots of household rubbish that has been dumped along the edge of the river. In the past I have phoned the council and they always say they will remove it and try and find out who its from and prosecute.:woohoo: I have even given them a couple of bills and the like that have been lying amongst the rubbish, sometimes the rubbish gets moved, sometimes it doesn't. I have never seen anyone in the paper getting prosecuted for it either. A couple of years ago I found a lot of animal guts and other rubbish lying beside the river in town, told the council, a week later it was still there, contacted the local paper and they did a story on it and the offal and other crap vanished the next day. The last couple of times I have contacted the council about rubbish, it has not moved, so I have hauled a few bags and stuff away myself at my own cost. Today however, upon finding 3 rubbish bags dumped down there and a few powerbills and a winz letter, something to do with emergency benefit, heaps of junk food wrappers and diet coke bottles and the like, I snapped and went home and got the car, chucked it in the boot and took it back to where it came from, as in tipped it all over their unkempt lawn. Now my wife thinks I have done wrong, but I think fuck em. Lazy bastards.:angry2::angry2:

The Mayor is actually a nice guy, I usually store my firewood logs at his place and have disscussed it with him, but he says his hands are tied blah blah, lots of different paperwork blah blah. He has stepped in a couple of times though, which I am very grateful for. Any rubbish on his side of the river( he lives close to the river) gets cleaned up pretty much straight away. Double standards:whocares: were all stupid humans at times. I am a bastard in the car or truck because anyone throws anything out the window ,I stop and make them pick it up or fuck off and walk( not such a good idea if ya mother inlaw is a mormon with no sense of humor:devil2:). I can clean the car out no problem, so just chuck it on the floor. Are we as a society getting so used to seeing this shit everywhere, that we dont notice it, or just dont really care?
I dont mind picking up a bit of rubbish round the place. I have not always felt this way and have thrown shit out the window when I was a teenager(especially if the popo were behind me) myself. Yep Im a hypocrite but Im just a stupid human too:bleh:

Your not wrong there, and is another issue I have raised with the council, but get the feeling they dont like the idea of choking the cash cow, so to speak. What can you do though reporting incidents when you see them, you have no idea if they are being followed up on or not. I have confronted some farmers who were blatantly abusing their water access but its not a good idea, because it usually involves heated confrontation, which is never a good thing for a stupid human like me.

Great job. :2thumbsup Personally I'm to much of a chicken to open rubbish bags. Probably watched to many thrillers... A long long time ago me and a friend did some geological fieldwork in a forest in the middle of nowhere in Germany. Found some big black rubbish bags far away from any public roads. Took us a while to find the courage to open them. Thankfully just full of old clothes...

I do look though if I can see anything moving or if I can hear anything. Volunteered long enough at the SPCA to know that humans can be that cruel.

This they have already done, thanks to my father who caused them quite a bit of greif in the past over footpath issues, he made placards and billboards with things like "Gore district council are liars" and " The mayor is a joke" and stuff like that, which made it to the local papers. He got the footpaths fixed in the end though.:niceone:
I have approached them about installing a new/extra driveway crossing onto my property, because we are not allowed to park on the grass verge along the roadside, but keep getting refused, council members dont turn up to discuss things when they say they will. Things like that. We have a big graveled area across the road where I used to park the freight liner, but am not allowed to do so by order of the council. I can build the crossing myself, as I have the skills and have even done work for the council installing footpaths and other digger work for them on their water system when their little digger could not handle it. I can pay for a new crossing, but they have blocked me at every turn. Not to worried about that though, one day I will do it anyway.:devil2:
I dont know if they are being difficult on purpose or it is the paperwork that is the problem, Im guessing our roading manager is not a fan of mine because I walked into his office one day and told him to get off his fat lazy arse and come and sort out the problem like he said he would. And he even lives at the end of our street and said I am not allowed trucks there as I wake up the neighborhood in the early hours of the morning, which is fine and I accepted that, until I talked to the neighborhood about it, and the general feeling was, They did not have a problem with the trucks and the noise of me leaving at 2/3 oclock in the morning, but they all had a problem with the VF leaving at that time of the day, because they could hear it winding up all the way out of town.:devil2::bleh:
RANT RANT, YAP YAP. I know, I know.
Back to the rubbish, I used to walk some of our local country roads picking up rubbish and taking it away, but because we dont have a tip any more, just a recycling center, it is quiet expensive to get rid of now so I approached the council to see if I could dump the stuff I picked up off the roads for free, alas, no can do. Reason, I could be dumping my own household rubbish along with it. Now this would be quite possible, but I assured them that our household produces very little waste, and we compost heaps and have a worm farm and chooks and other methods of reducing our rubbish.
No, sorry. So now the roads are building up with rubbish:(
AH well, todays a new day, and theres a bit of fight left in the old punk yet.:Punk::Punk:

You deserve a bloody medal for doing this.

I walk down The Terrace to work every day and see loads of recycling bags ( full of non-recyclable rubbish ) dumped on the footpath, looks like a 3rd world fucking country.

The stuff is actually in recycling bags ( plastics, cardboard etc ), but these retarded clowns put non-recyclable shit in there and of course the council won't take it away as it's not recyclable. It tends to stay there for weeks and really stinks.

When I looked closer at the contents in the bags, I can see all sorts of asian lettering in there on the junk. This really annoys me as these migrants just dump their shit out on the street and when the council sends them letters to stop, the either can't read them or just plain ignore it.

I once got in trouble with an employer because I was parked at a job next to our biggest kids park in town, when these bogans turned up with their KFC. When they had finished they just dropped all their rubbish out the window, so I wound my window down in the truck and told them nicely to pick it up and put it in the bin that was right in front of their car. They told me to fuck off, so I got out and picked it up myself and reached through the window and started rubbing it in his hair, before they had a chance to drive off. Basterd rang my boss:baby: And he told me off.

The vigilante thing appeals, but as soon as you mess with it, you are yourself committing an offence (technically)...

If you report it to Council and it's still there half a week later, call again and asked what happened to your original request.

Another half week, ask to speak to the waste manager.

Another half week, his manager. etc etc...

If they're not there, leave a message (and note the time/date of call).

Stay polite and chirpy every time you call.

Y'never know - could be the contractors being slack, and Council needs to know about that.

Yep, have been down that road, which just leaves me frustrated. Maybe the council where you are is completely different, I cannot comment on that. The council down here use their own staff for this kind of job, not contractors.
The only time they seem willing to act appropriately is when the Gold Guitars or similar events are on.

Tiny rubbish bins that are only collected fortnightly are useless, at my house we fill the bin within about 2 days so our only option is to stock pile rubbish and get a trailer once a month to dump what doesn't fit in the bins. I'm amazed people aren't dumping rubbish in parks more often.

We have to pay for our rubbish bags here. We get weekly collections but only put out one 60L bag a fortnight although sometimes we can stretch it to 3 weeks. Of course we have recycling bins too.

I've always been tempted to do something similar when weve had rubbish dumped outside our work bins (we keep them locked overnight). But the past couple times it's happened there was nothing with Addresses or names.

Don't you have a recycling bin? Or can't you recycle cardboard etc where you are? Surely there is a way you might not have thought of that you can do to Reduce the rubbish you produce? Kids in nappies would be an exception I think though. We cook A lot here and rarely eat takeout but when we do We always comment at how much rubbish that takeout I.e. Maccas Etc. Has generated.

Here the sheltered workshop used to collect the recycling once a fortnight. We separated the recycles and put it into bags and boxes and stacked it up. They would take as much as you put out. Last year the council let the contract to a commercial operation. We have two small bins with each only allowing a certain type of recycle. They still come once a fortnight and will only take what fits in the small bins. Of course you can buy more small bins. I also pay to have a 200L wheely bin collection once a week. Once my small recycle bins are full, the rest of the fortnight's recycling goes into the wheelie bin for landfill. Good work council.

Did I mention the recycle bins are small?

Yes we have a recycle bin and that fills up just as fast as the rubbish, at my house we have a kid in nappies and 3 others each producing quite a bit of rubbish and I'm lazy so eat a lot of take away plus there is the rubbish produced by pet food and we all drink way to much soft drink, it all adds up pretty fast.

A couple of years ago I found a lot of animal guts and other rubbish lying beside the river in town, told the council, a week later it was still there, contacted the local paper and they did a story on it and the offal and other crap vanished the next day. The last couple of times I have contacted the council about rubbish, it has not moved, so I have hauled a few bags and stuff away myself at my own cost. Today however, upon finding 3 rubbish bags dumped down there and a few powerbills and a winz letter, something to do with emergency benefit, heaps of junk food wrappers and diet coke bottles and the like, I snapped and went home and got the car, chucked it in the boot and took it back to where it came from, as in tipped it all over their unkempt lawn. Now my wife thinks I have done wrong, but I think fuck em. Lazy bastards.:angry2::angry2:

Thats me vented anyway, what say you. What would you do. Ignore it......Persever with the council.........React like myself...........Burn their fuckin house down........WHAT???

:shifty:

Bloody brilliant mate!
The council don't give a fuck about this type of thing. All they do is pocket yer rates, dog rego etc and plan community events.

Good job there chap:niceone:

Why would I be joking? The wheelie bins they provide are way too small to be collected fortnightly so we collect rubbish in those big rubbish bags and take it to the dump when theres enough to warrant getting a small trailer.
Because you admitted you're part of your own problem, that's almost unheard of in these parts, lol. As for too many soft drink bottles, maybe you could crush them before you put them in the recycle bin? if you aren't already..

I'll happily admit I'm at fault for the amount of rubbish I make and that if I was worried about it I could make less but why should I change my eating and drinking habits to suit the council, fuck 'em.
I do crush bottles but even crushed a 2.25 coke bottle takes up a fair bit of space not to mention all the dog food cans.

I often decline to accept a lot of rubbish at point of sale. Bit difficult with a coke can but all clothing packaging and a lot of other shit gets left on the counter. If they don't like it maybe they'll do the same to their suppliers.

Here you can put as much recycling stuff out as you want, not just a wheelie bin. Rubbish, too, I think.

For me, i don't care what the council thinks of my rubbish and or the amount of it, but I do wonder for years and generations to come where is all the rubbish going to go? what about my kids? and their kids and so on and blah blah etc. Don't get me wrong, I am no greeny, I could make even more of an effort to recycle and reduce waste etc but I am content that the effort I am making now, albeit small, will have a cumulative effect over time. You know, with our powers combined, we can save the world!

I do usually get them when I go grocery shopping and try to re use most as kitchen rubbish bags.

A good blast around the forest is just what I needed.:Punk::Punk::Punk:
I think we could all do more to preserve the beauty of our planet, myself included. I would hate to think of anywhere in NZ becoming like the city I was born in in the UK. Last time I was in Auckland I went for a stroll down Dominion rd, and It is sad to say I think it is happening already.:crazy:

It,s your world too...........Dont just sit there. :Punk::Punk:

You may or may not wish to answer a question for me.:msn-wink: I dont think the spotty little oick that came out will be going to the police anytime soon:devil2: But say the neighbours got the rego of my car, what would I be charged with. Wilful damage, disposing of litter in an unsatisfactory manner..ect.:innocent:

Well, I CANNOT think of anything the owner of the rubbish could complain about...but then in this circumstance I am a bit biased.:msn-wink:

Cheers, I was more concerned that the neighbors may of called the sheriff than the lazy mofos whos rubbish it was. I have had no visit today, so am guessing no one has called anyone. I certainly do not need any more charges just now.:lol::lol::2thumbsup
