A Quiet Country Lane

Scum bags absolutely no need whatsoever, there is plenty of recycling centres around that don’t cost the earth to go to

The problem will only get worse, here in darkest Norfolk they have started charging for DIY waste

That’s got to be traceable hasn’t it?
Can’t be that many signs like that about!

That sign is a bit ironic isn’t it

Perhaps, might be something on the back if it’s come from a school or something or that crest on the front might mean something?

could they not just back into a field gateway,

What makes you think I want it in my gateway?

Not only am I blocked out of my field I also have to pay for it to be removed. Fed up with having to deal with someone else's crap.

They were on about fly-tipping on the radio earlier today and it’s amazing the amount of people who think that it is completely fine to tip there crap in areas of beauty all over this country. Bunch of lazy wastes of oxygen.

I agree Peasgood, I just meant that it would have been slightly less inconvenient to have it in a gateway because cars are now becoming stuck in the very wet verge. 

I have had sofas. armchairs, brick rubble and general waste dumped in the fields as well as a great number of cars over the years, some burnt out.  They seem to have almost solved the car problem by presumably making it worthwhile to trade in, or the owners more traceable.

  In the same way I hope the proposed deposit system on plastic works as well as it did on the old Coke bottles.  Can someone not come up with a scheme to reward recycling of garden waste and trimmings?  It must be cheaper than sending people out to clear up stuff in the middle of the road.
