Litter and Littering Reviews

Dropping litter this has to be one of the things that annoys me the most about the general public when out and about We have some really lovely areas in our country (especially when the sun shines ha ha ) but when you visit any of them the area always seems spoiled by various forms of litter Whilst there dosent always seem ...  Read the complete review

As a child littering never used to really bother me, whilst I was always taught to hold on to rubbish and put it in the first available bin, I would even wince if someone dropped their rubbish and carried on walking. Now I have aged my attitude has changed quite significantly and I hate litter and littering. As a race, human ...  Read the complete review

We are now living in a throw away generation, litter seems to be everywhere on our streets; in the countryside, on our roads and even in our places of work. Nobody likes it and yet so few of us do anything about it. My review doesn't focus on individuals that litter (which is majorly annoying) but rather on environmental and ...  Read the complete review

How many of us have been walking through town or standing at a bus stop when some youth (sorry to stereotype, but it's largely the case) throws a sweet wrapper, crisp bag or empty drink can on the floor, no more than 3 yards from a bin?! It irks me and most of us that a growing number of people seem to think it's perfectly ...  Read the complete review

In some local authorities dropping litter is punishable by a 50 quid on the spot fine, but looking at the area where I live I wonder if this is ever enforced? Last week on a neat middle class housing development I saw a man with cart and shovel and broom, painstakingly walking around searching for litter. I watched him for ...  Read the complete review

Depending on where you come from in the country depends on how bad the litter situation is and how it is tackled. Wakefield (because that is where I live) in the centre is very clean, I rarely see litter swept about and piled in corners. If you go out on a Friday or Saturday night its completely different. It is filthy with ...  Read the complete review

~Introduction~ The issue of litter and littering is one that has dropped down the order as far as public concerns go. There are other seemingly more important things such as fox hunting, the war and racism that have come to the fore recently. The problem of littering hasn't just gone away over night and it is ...  Read the complete review

I can?t stand littering, it drives me absolutely mad to see beautiful places spoilt by the laziness of the few. What really annoys me, however, is that the litterers would probably be the first to complain if somebody dumped litter in the middle of their own front lawn? My real pet hate, however, is the amount of ...  Read the complete review

I'm not talking about the UK specifically here, as in my opinion and experience, most countries around the world seem to suffer from it to some extent. I find it hard to comprehend, never being a litter-bug myself, why people do just throw rubbish around. We live in a beautiful world and some people seem content on making it ...  Read the complete review

man oh man how lazy can some dudes get dropping litter and stuff all over, shame on you mr and mrs uk. Is it a lack of bins? no, its a culture. Look beside bins, people even drop litter when theres a bin around, moreso sometimes (ahh someone will be emptying that bin anyway so they'll get this crisp packet). great shame. They throw ...  Read the complete review

I think that dropping litter is a very selfish thing to do and people should be ashamed of themselves if they do it. Many of the times it is probably the fault of parents not teaching their children that throwing litter is wrong. Things like paper are messy and make the place untidy but they are biogradeable and don't do too much ...  Read the complete review

People who drop litter should be tied to the stake, covered in stale bread crumbs and have ducks set on them. A slow death by the pecking of ducks might just deter other people from dropping litter! It is just such a pointless activity – most litter seems to be only a few metres from a bin, so why didn’t the person just walk ...  Read the complete review

What really makes me mad about littering is that it is so blatantly just a result of laziness and a lack of respect for the environment. I suspect if you are reading this, then the odds are you share my views. There's not much to be gained from preaching to the converted, but here we go anyway. Apart from being unsightly, ...  Read the complete review

A curable "British Disesase"? - Advantages: Makes me appreciate other countries, Solution is obvious, £1000 fine or 120 hour community service - Disadvantages: I am ashamed of us, Causes run deep

I got up on a lovely spring morning, put my baby son in the backpack, hold my daughter?s hand and wandered down the small country lane leading away from our house. After about 20 meters my daughter asked 'why are two car doors and a fridge lying on the side of the path?' Obviously I replied that the litter goblin had ...  Read the complete review

Lazy bastards. - Advantages: An easy way of identifying selfish, idle, anti-social people who have been badly brought up. - Disadvantages: We all have to live with their rubbish.

PROBLEM I have noticed that in the last year or so there seems to be so much more littler on the road and with it being windy some of which has been blowing into our garden. As a child I can always remember my parents telling me not to drop litter and so I would have to put toffee wrappers or crisp packets in my pocket. ...  Read the complete review

I have always felt that trash in my area has been a problem, but nothing extreme. But recently the problem has been getting considerably worse. The reason for the problem getting increasingly worse is down to a few things explained through my opinion. ******** Causes of Trash ******** **** Fast Food Outlets **** ...  Read the complete review

When I noticed this subject I couldn't resist putting across my view. I am sure that there are many of you out there who are not concerned with litter on our streets or feel that it is not a problem. Unfortunately, I don't agree! Where I live the litter problem has increased over the last couple of years. I live in ...  Read the complete review
