Such A Shame.... :-(

[gness]

It's rare for me to get cross but fly tipping and litter both press the button.

The first farm gate leaving my little town is always clean and tidy....no mud from vehicles left on the road.....hedge trimmed to give a clear view of the bend.

But once again today it has had a pile of rubbish dumped in it. Large chunks of plaster board and other bits and bags of building materials. I guess from someone in my town doing a bit of renovation.....

I feel for the farmer who has to constantly clear the gateway...or get it cleared......

Does he have to pay if the council has to clear it......especially if it could perhaps be asbestos....don't know if that is likely....?

And isn't it a strange mindset lets someone dump rubbish for someone else to clear up........

I have words other than "strange" for them.

[Baldric]

They would have to pay to tip it legally especially if there was Asbestos in it, by fly tipping they don't have to pay and they may well have charged someone else to 'take it away'

[gness]

Me too, OG....

I know they'd have to pay, Baldric....my son does for his business.....but isn't it odd that someone can just dump rubbish in the countryside....and assume someone else will clear up after them....
Would be nice to find an address and deliver it back.

I did that once when someone leaving the post office opened their large, plastic parcel and dropped the packaging.
I picked it up....parceled it and mailed it to them with no stamp.....

[Baldric]

I think the last 2 lines in my post might explain why they dump it, PROFIT.

[gness]

Yes.....profit, I see that......well downright greed really......but still an odd type of person......even a greedy one....x

[Baldric]

Just ones that couldn't give a t**5, lots of them about, sadly.

Very selfish... Maybe he needs a CCTV sign?

[gness]

Pixie...he has lots of those....Site under observation signs.....it stopped for a while when they went up......but seems to have started again.

I need a campaign.......if I get a tent for Christmas I'll camp out with my catapult and some paint pellets....or better still....it's opposite a cemetery....popping up from behind the hedge in a spooky outfit could be fun......☺

[pixie374]

Indeed! Borrow some sprouts from jth, they'll be lethal. It's obviously an "out of sight, out of mind" thing. People can be.... odd...

[gness]

Jack has lethal sprouts?...Wow......☺

[pixie374]

Yes! Look on sunny Dave's thread, I think. She didn't put them on until mid- November.... harder than bullets, I should think.

[gness]

Crikey....not like Jack to be late with the sprouts.....perhaps she can rescue them with an hour or two in the microwave.....x

[pixie374]

...And an acid soak, we think. Might be better to save them for next year, now.

[gness]

Ah yes......she's working on 90 minutes......hmm...I reckon an hour and a half at least.....☺

[pixie374]

Lol :-) xx

[ubasses]

If tipped on Farmers land he has to clear and pay, on public land it's the Council.

[Baldric]

We had a few sprouts out of the pot for Sunday dinner (put on in Sept) they definitely need the extra few days tbh.

[whiskeryron]

Show this to your local farmer. I am sure it could easily be made & deployed.

[gness]

I thought that would be the case, Ubasses...quite a deep entrance before the gate so I guess it's his and he must be cheesed off by now....

We were wondering if he could do something like that, Ron...tempting...☺

[Baldric]

Ron, do you not think that might be ever so slightly illegal unless you have the Uniform to go with it?
