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.

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.

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???
