They are pelletised and cooked, volatiles for fuel / oils, steel to the recyclers, rubber residue mixed to make soft playground surfaces.

ALL packaging should be replaced with bio-degradeable or paper derivatives so it can be recycled, and my bugbear, plastic sleeves that magazines come in, that needs to be paper. I'm incensed that the BBC Wildlife mag is shipped in a plastic wrapper !.

We've tried community service, they won't come anymore due to "health and safety" issues. We can volunteer but they can't be punished, which after all is what community service is for.

nice, but wouldnt it be cheaper just to send out a decent number of cleansing teams - which is something the govt has singly failed to do.

And then the litter droppers would say if they stopped dropping litter the cleansing teams would be out of work, so litter dropping is a public service!

It's obvious that this sort of behaviour would irritate and annoy anyone invloved with this forum and I couldn't agree more with all your comments.

What I've always fancied doing is pinpointing one individual who is guilty of this crime and following them around for a year. Every time they drop (or throw!) some litter in a country park, at the seaside or anywhere for matter, I'd pick it up and put it into a binbag. After collecting a year's-worth of their litter, I'd then go round to their house and empty it all in their back garden and then ask them how they felt. Total ignorant imbeciles, the lot of them.

As a matter of interest, a couple of months ago I was behind a local community litter cleaner van and I swear on my life, the dimwit threw a crisp packet out of the window. Wish I'd taken the registration plate but I was just aghast with what I had witnessed, I just missed the opportunity. If anything would get the 'gentleman' the sack, then that would be it - unless of course, he'd been instructed to litter the streets to keep himself in a job?
