You are proud of being a fly tipper?

Take it down the dump.

Recycling day is Tuesday. Monday evening I come back home and someone has left a clear plastic bag of recycling on my driveway. Why? Can't see there's any particular limit on the amount of recycling you can leave around here.

Anyway, not wanting to be legally liable for the beer cans and other stuff it contained I took it down to the nearest layby. Hopefully the refuse collectors have a poke around in it and find the address of the peasant.

What would you have done? Have any of you done this to a neighbour? (My nearest neighbour is 200m away, so this was very deliberate).

Just hope whoever left it hasn't put anything in there to identify you in the hope that you would fly tip it

We put our surplus waste in neighbours bins, there are always a couple at least who only half fill theirs.

With their agreement of course.

I also cut my neighbours grass when I cut mine and put his garden waste in my bin.

I would have left it. A least he didn't dump it in a layby because that's what peasants do.

"Legally Liable" for some recycling? What kind of nonsense is this?

Just leave it out with your recycling and it will be collected as normal.

[Chumley.mouse]

Id have just left it at the side of my bin for the binmen to take on Tuesday. Or jumped up and down in my bin to make room and put it in there. Wtf would you drive off with it and dump it ????. Your right there are some weird people about .

Put it in my bin like a normal person would.

Can't quite tell if the OP is being serious or not. Found a bag of rubbish on their driveway and their solution was to dump it in a layby? Good question OP, what sort of peasant does do this?

What I absolutely would not have done, is dumped it in a layby and therefore made a mess of the area in which I live.

I would have simply stuffed it in my own recycling, or left it next to my own recycling, to be taken away.

You massive weirdo.

Why would you even think to post something like this?

[CSR Performance]

I would have kicked it down the road away from my house. I don't pick up other peoples rubbish. It's a life mantra of mine.

[banger54]

Yes- recycle it yourself.

A slight inconvenience, but less so than taking your neighbour's rubbish on a road trip.

If you want to find the root cause put a camera up.

Well that also makes you part of the problem, I pick up litter that I see when ever I can, it helps kept things tidy.

I kept an eye on it, it's been collected from the layby.

Why do posters delete their original post when it has already been quoted for all to see

often with this type of thread (AKA "it didn't go how the OP expected") the initial post isn't quoted but it seems you were on the ball ML

FFS - you are almost as bad, and certainly part of the problem

[ChocolateFrog]

Depends on the mood.

Check CCTV and give it back to them or just put it in my bin as a one off.

I probably wouldn't have fly-tipped it

[Byker28i]

We used to get plastic bags full of plastic blowing around every recycling day as neighbours wouldn't weight the bags down when they put them out the night before.

To stop this, the council issued a blue weighted canvas bag, that must be used, nothing else will be collected...

So not only do the rubbish guys get to list an additional 2kg for each house, it doesn't seal properly, so we now have individual packaging items spread over roads/gardens etc
