Ritiro lungo la strada da circa 500 metri di strada di campagna questa mattina. Questa è la seconda pulizia che faccio quest’anno, il che significa che c’è una media di 6 sacchi di spazzatura all’anno, ovvero 12 sacchi per km. Con 94.000 km di strade di campagna in Irlanda, ogni anno nelle nostre campagne vengono smaltiti 1,12 milioni di sacchi di spazzatura.
Voterò per qualsiasi partito con un piano fattibile per affrontare questo problema:
– Telecamere nascoste per i rifiuti
– Multe pesanti e obblighi di raccolta rifiuti per i trasgressori
– Tasse sulla raccolta dei rifiuti sugli oggetti comuni che vengono smaltiti – involucri di caramelle, pacchetti di sigarette, tazze da caffè usa e getta, soprattutto contenitori da asporto, con quelle tasse utilizzate per la pulizia delle campagne. Tasse aggiuntive per articoli non biodegradabili. Le persone che traggono profitto da questo devono pagare qualcosa per la soluzione.
Devo dire che il volume delle bottiglie e delle lattine di plastica è diminuito notevolmente grazie al sistema di rimborso.

Correction: 8 bags per 500m per year = 16 bags per km = 1.5 million bags of rubbish.
Well done OP.
I am not from here but I will walk the country lane near me and pick up rubbish – a month later it is back to littered
There should be more social consequences for litterers
Thank you for doing that. Littering in all its forms makes me crosser than almost anything else I can think of.
Doing well. I’ve seen 500m of road that would fill a skip.
Luke Litter craze has gone too far /s
We’re the same at our site on a main road, picked up 2 full bags so far this year. Everything from newspapers to takeaway tubs its sick what people feel comfortable just throwing out their window. I’d love for something to be in place that would scare people in to not littering
No one likes a litter lout.
coffee cups – at the very least if you go for a coffee in a cafe and decide to sit in, then they should be serving you the coffee in a washable mug. People sitting in cafes drinking coffee out of one use mugs.
Of course that doesn’t help your post about people dumping but still… I cycle all year round and some of the blatant dumping is shocking, Black bags dumped in ditches in remote areas. If you are a person that does this, have the cop on to just leave it where it can be easily removed.
Anyway summer is coming and the rubbish will be covered again with greenery.
Every bit of rubbish get thrown into the passenger footwell of my van. I don’t litter and it will be a cold day in hell before I start walking the roads and picking up other cunts rubbish they threw out their window because they didn’t want it to mess their car or fuck it I’m finished with this bar drink bag, I know let’s fuck it out the window. Punishment and education at a young age is the solution, so that’s not going to happen.
Done the same only a few weeks back. We’re very rural and I pulled 2 full-to-bursting big black bags of rubbish from about 300m of roadside. Granted I hadn’t done this for a couple of years so it had built up.
But it’s disgusting. I can’t imagine how much of a shitty person you have to be to throw rubbish from your car. It’s so easy not to!
The government can how me. I’ll travel all the roads cleaning them. Sorted
Started picking litter round my town during the 1st lockdown, 6 years ago, and I think I filled about 20 black sacks in about 3-4 weeks. started expanding out the back and country roads during the summer and there was about the same amount. Most of the litter was plastic bottles and cans thrown out car windows. I didn’t mind doing it, I was out in the fresh air all summer walking, felt I had the place to myself.
It all came back about 2 years later, so I just gave up, I just a pick around few places near where I live.
