Have you seen how many bins we now have with the recycling initiatives
the Councils down here have been indulging in? We got another 2 last
week for "waste food" collections.

Likely to be like a WW2 anti-submarine fleet passing through, with all
those cylinders hurtling through the air here come Friday. :-)

In Lewisham and Southwark they now have the community bin also known
as the streets.

That's all over the UK , even in the countryside! LOL- Hide quoted text -

Start to clear it up. Take a lead. There's seldom any bottles/drinks
cans/plastic bottles in the streets around my house, because when I'm
out walking the dog, I pick them up, take them back with me and put
them in the recycling. Just small things like that make the streets
look tidier and that encourages people to keep them tidy. There's very
good research that shows that people further abuse areas which are
constantly untidy and litter-strewn, but don't do the same with areas
which are seen to be clean.

It takes nothing to pick up a few cans, or bottles. Start a trend and
you might be surprised at what improvements come from it.- Hide quoted text -

I came out of my house this morning and somebody has dumped a Childs
mattress. Just over the road at the entrance to the Alexandra
recreation Park some pig has dumped the packaging of their flash wide
screen LED. This happens all the time now. The usual culprits are
thick ****s usually on Housing benefits and exempt from CT and yes
generalisations are pretty accurate nowadays. So what we have if
people who actually pay exorbitant council tax, diligently recycling
their rubbish, whilst those that pay nothing for their rubbish
collection think nothing of dumping it at the end of a nice quiet road
or in the hedge of someone who does pay for their rubbish collection.

Yes it is commendable that you pick up rubbish when you see it, but it
isn't commendable paying for and suffering at the hands of, the
rubbish that is increasingly populating our country.


Only lefties like you think that way and the irony is it's people like
you who have indulged this behaviour for several decades, are the
primary cause of the standards we suffer from today in what is
essentially a deteriorating society.


What you are saying Lawrence is, by making people homeless, you'll have
a cleaner society. Yet the people that you make homeless, by not giving
them housing benefit or council tax rebate, will be even more excluded
from society. Are you sure homeless people will have more civic pride?
