Another problem that happens where I live is that the council insist that the rubbish and recycling bins and boxes are put out before 6am. Obviously many people put them out the evening before, regardless of the weather conditions. The recycling boxes we have, have a very loose fitting lid, in fact someone sneezing is quite likely to blow the lid off every box in a half mile radius. So you can imagine that with winds we had last week our neighbourhood was covered with litter, and in many places still is. Education is one answer but frankly if people don't have the common sense in the first place what’s the point. Harsh penalties are all very well, but if the councils haven't got the money to spend on street cleaners they certainly haven't got the spare cash to spend on Bobbies.
It isn't the right answer but it's down to us, the people that do care, to start picking litter up and educating others, and contacting the council where rubbish is building up and fly tipping has occurred.
