Good evening.
The rain did eventually stop so I was able to get out this afternoon. The rubbish I saw yesterday was beckoning me to go and pick it up. It's in a quiet dead end road on the Industrial Estate. The ground is rough with a lot of brambles. Good job I wear boots.
I did two bags, would I have time for another. Yes go for it. The sun was shining. I kept the glass separate and wondered if there was enough to fill another bag. I used a thicker clear plastic bag for that. Then I double bagged it with a red sack. It was very heavy.
I noticed that someone else had dropped two bags off at the spot I usually use. I parked mine at the other entrance to the pond, where there is another litter bin. Normally I would expect my bags to be picked up quickly, but this week the Council have been a bit slow. They were there from Monday to Thursday.
There is still a bit more litter where I got this from. Some of it is pretty disgusting. I must have emptied at least a dozen plastic bottles of pee. What's left can wait until I am ready. Or maybe someone else has got their eye on it.
Thanks for popping in. Have a good weekend. Toodle pip. ilona
Have you seen the BBC news articles about empty white wine bottles (always the same type) dumped around the villages of Hotham and North Cave in East Yorkshire? Someone is leaving bags of them here, there and everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI read something about that, but I am not surprised. A while back I watched someone empty the contents of their carrier bag into a public litter bin. After they walked away, I had a look at what they had put in there. Filled it with empty spirit bottles. Possibly to hide the evidence of an alcohol problem.
DeleteYeh, that’s what my mum used to do, take them to where she worked and binned them there. So we never knew.
DeleteI'm afraid I wouldn't be emptying bottles of someone else's pee. . .
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the start of a lovely walk behind where you left the rubbish. Is it one you do regularly?
It is pretty gross. I hold it at arms length, with the wind blowing in the opposite direction.
DeleteThere are two bins, one at each end of the large pond. It is popular with dog walkers, and next to the Industrial Estate. I have walked around it on occasions, and it is surprisingly clear of rubbish. I have seen workers from nearby Council offices, taking their lunch break there. The police used to take their dogs there for training in the water.
I walked past the pond today,and wondered if any of the red bags were yours.Well done for tidying up,l do wish people would dispose of their own rubbish responsibly though.
