Bit of a rant - People Throwing Rubbish Into Front Gardens

[natalie_b]

First of all, I apologise for the rant! But has anyone else experienced this new trend of people throwing rubbish into their front garden? I am not talking about into their bins but actually into our front gardens.

It seems to be an everyday thing that I am finding dumped chip packets, pizza boxes, crisp wrappers, coffee cups, sweet wrappers in our front garden and to be honest I am getting really sick of it. There is a bin right there if you really have to dump it right that second instead of waiting to get home.

Not a new trend where we live! I'm resigned to it...

I think some of the things I have found have blown in from the street (clearly they shouldn't have been dumped there either, but it's less directly aggressive) - and some things (boxes with chicken wing bones) may have been brought in by foxes to eat discretely - but I agree, it's clear that cans and bottles could only have arrived through human agency, and it's inexcusable.

I have rubbish in my front garden, but I attribute it to the pesky foxes (which have at least stopped coming into my kitchen).

I saw a guy do this the other day and was really offended! It's gross!
