General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
No one was interested in fly-tipping before the council were forced to close refuse depots,it happened just as much as it does now but then was an accepted part of life, not as it is now another hot potato and an excuse to pour scorn and criticism.
However since the depots closed it has become to many a big deal. The sensible and responsible amongst us will always find legal and socially acceptable ways to dispose of our refuse. The more narrow minded and selfish simply won't bother, regardless of how many legal options there are available
Its all about personal responsibility, some have it, some dont. There are plenty of litter bins in the town center but some choose not to use them....same thing!
The fact people fly-tip and in doing so chance prosecution is no more the councils fault than it is Arthur Guinness's fault that people drink and drive.
