Trail cam might not be useable by the authorities unless you also put up a notice warning that CCTV is in operation - it might give them enough to know to hang out there at say 5:20 on a Friday evening but even with clear faces, reg plates and so on, no warning means the footage can't be used

I put a trail cam up at an employed position to see what was fu&king up my work.

Turned it into the boss and got fired.

 

It was a longer standing member of staff that didn't like being out performed ......

I hope at some time it may be possible to print a barcode on say cans and cigarette packets to identify who bought them and where

Another possibility is to give school children a day of picking up rubbish, with perhaps a tractor protecting them at either end and a trailer bin in the middle.  Firstly it would instill in them a sense of responsibility and secondly if they see their mum or dad do it they might say “ Dad , if you chuck that out I gotta pick the xxxxxx up!”

 

Often thought about that simple printer, MuckyDs wrappers auto printed the car reg from the camera - think you could do the same with other stuff but... not sure they'd get away with that.

 

The children thing is a god idea though!

Local drivers choice of beer is Fosters.

 

Always nearly in  the same  places, people seem to have there set daily/weekly routines with regards to littering patterns...

Realistically it's going to be a group of yoofs in a car tho, nobody could drink that without being easily found in a hedge just round the corner inebriated and covered in their own urine.

 

Granted I'm teetotal, so one of them and I'd probably be in a hedge mumbling it jumped out Infront of me.

I thought exactly this, but then if rubbish is put in bins responsibly, anyone with a grudge, or for a laugh could take it out and fly tip it getting the buyer reported

Glue the cans together in the shape of a stick man and dress it in hi Viz 

Then put it by the road...

[Billhook]

Yes I think I agree that the barcode idea would have problems but the children idea might work.  Interestingly in Denmark where children are taught to love their country there is no litter around

I used to observe similar, but with pedestrians rather than drivers. Along a path through a local park. There was an ever increasing pile of beer cans, Tennant's Super or some suchlike, stashed in the undergrowth at one specific point. There was a litter bin at the start of the path, only 100 yards back. Used to annoy me every time.

 

I figured that alcoholics are creatures of habit, (by definition I suppose.)

I used to have a grounds maintenance contract at a large local housing estate on the site of the former "county asylum". During our fortnightly mowing we would regularly have to pick up a collection of, yes you've guessed it, carling beer cans. Same place every time. This was always half way along the 600 metre road into the estate. I have no idea what the dynamic was with this.

On a different note, back in the late seventies/early eighties I was with one of my university friends in a multi storey car park one day. As we were exiting the car park he furtively screwed up the parking ticket and dropped it out of the window, thinking I did not notice. I called him out on this. He went on to become a professor of paediatric haematology. Just shows that litterrbugs come from all sectors of society. Grrrrrrr

There was a fresh pile of rubbish dumped in the woods at a side of a single track road near here a month or two back. I was passing on the bike, so stopped to have a rummage. Found a euro crate (strong plastic storage box) which I was chuffed about so took it!

There was the usual household stuff like a telly, and also a large pile of books. The subject of all the books was all related to islam.

Was even a book on islamic law - I didn't look to see if there was a section on flytipping!
