The Weekly Gripe

Rubbish on the street, who cleans it up?

Rubbish on the streets

Trash and litter everywhere!

Some people are just plain selfish, throwing their rubbish straight on the ground instead of putting it in the bin. Who cleans up their mess after them? It's disgracefull and these people need to grow up!



There is no excuse for the garbage on our streets these days and you see it all the time. From cigarette butt litter and food litter, to chewing gum and sweet wrappers.

20-5-2008I can remember when all this re-cycle mania began. Got to re-cycle everything! God will punish you if you don't! Now, when I see the bottle, cardboard and clothes re-cycle points, they are mountainous and out of control. They remain this way for days on end for all the 'green do-gooder...moreMank
20-5-2008This is very true and an infinate problem. =] I used this for my school work Thank you weekley gripe! :)Mrs Haddock
21-3-2008Sludge Gulper makes some valid points. This is what years of socialist labour rule has done to a once proud country. It has turned young people into uncaring aggressive belligerent slobs whlst older people cower indoors, afraid to remonstrate, and the country is overrun by 'asylum seekers'...moreMikeP
21-3-2008You have asked "What ever happened to keep Britain tidy?" I ask "What ever happened to Britain". People don't care about Britain today because Britain doesn't care about them. This is the most appalling, alienating, class-ridden, obnoxious society in Europe. Snobs all of ...moreSludge Gulper
20-3-2008I completely agree. And thankyou so much for the intro, I used it for a powerpoint me and a few other people have to show in assembly about rubbish. Again, many thanks, Reporting For Ricards.Reporting For Ricards.
04-2-2008We have to put food in the same bin as the cardboard. The neighbouring county is completely different and this is not allowed. What's going on? Someone was dumping food in my black bin (plastic waste) that I was not aware of. I can only gather they did this on the evening of the collection...moreTed B
04-2-2008Hah! We recyle here - allegedly. The Council likes to tell everybody how good we are at it. You know - we have a brown bin for garden waste, a blue bin for paper/cardboad and the standard black bin for everything eles. We have re-cycling bins everywhere, for the bottles, cans, all that jazz. We are ...moreserenity

14-1-2008Sam in Lincoln hi, If you'd cared to read my post below that of your post, bins are situated 10 feet apart yet, the green is always covered with gash. They're too lazy to walk from the centre of the green as this is where they tend to congregate, too lazy to walk to a bin. They're...moreBrian in Saffron Walden
14-1-2008There are a lack of bins provided yes however that is not the only problem it is also down to pure lazyness.People can't be bothered to go and put rubbish in the bin!!!sam in lincoln
08-11-2007I can't figure it out. On the Common where I live there are fixed bins nearly every ten feet apart, all around the green. Why is it that the whole green is covered in litter nearly everyday, moreso in the summertime? There's this beautiful, well maintained green that ends up a sh^t tip ...moreBrian in Saffrom Walden
08-9-2007I like the notion that the polluter should pay. I think we should persuade the Government to pass a law so that all food and drinks containers should be charged with £1 deposit (£2 for large pizza boxes) so that the purchasers would be encouraged to return them to the shop. If they still ...moresirleonard
