I was driving down a rural road the other night on my way home to my village. This particular road is a magnet for flytippers (mind you, most rural roads are).
I find it hard to believe that people actually drive out in the dead of night, miles and miles away from the places where they live, to dump garden cuttings, household waste, building rubble… you name it. It would actually be easier to drive to the local waste depot for most of them, so I can only assume they would be missing out on something important by not dumping it out in the countryside. I’m not talking about those industrial flytippers – this stuff would fit in a car boot or small van.
Bearing in mind the kind of people they usually are, it isn’t hard to imagine what it is they WOULD be missing out on by getting rid of it properly.
What makes me laugh is those signs that say “no tipping”. As if it’s OK to do it in places where there isn’t a sign. And as if the scum who do it can even read.
