Rubbish in parks


Recommended Posts

If you?re bothered about the non-collection of litter and/or insufficient number of bins in parks and open spaces, please email [email protected]

If you CC your councillor it may help.

A collector told me the other week they?d asked often for extra bins but their requests are not always acted on.

I agree that more bins are needed but I also think the council needs to be braver about asking people to do their bit i.e. don't bring tonnes of stuff into the park for picnics etc and expect that you can always have a bin available for the waste it produces. And even if is a bit annoying that the bin is full, that's not an excuse to dump bags of rubbish next to the bins/ram stuff in so stuff falls over the floor (especially if there is an empty bin nearby you could use, which there often is).


When the default is 'I will dispose of rubbish properly, as long as there are plentiful, empty bins available, at the exact point I want to need them' we will always have problems in the parks as they can never seem to do enough to stay on top of demand at very busy times. But the council won't say this because they are too scared of being criticised for not emptying the bins enough. So I think they also need to hear the message that people want other people to take some responsibility and it's ok to ask them to do so.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
