fly tip your rubbish.

Found Armani packaging (watches I think) in the pile of rubbish dumped in the alleyway behind our house. So whoever's done it is obviously wealthy enough, they just don't give a fuck.

I just want to vent really. It's not on. I've got a good idea who did it too, but I can't prove anything.

Anyone who fly tips is an irredeemable piece of shit.

Could be stole, dumped the boxes and got away.

Fly tippers are the scum of the earth.

Anyone caught flytipping should be sentenced to detention on a landfill site for at least a month.

Well these people are skanks for fly tipping. But being skint wouldn’t be an excuse to fly tip. Wealth is irrelevant - littering or fly tipping makes you a dick.

So it's acceptable to fly tip if you can't afford designer stuff? Fly tipping is skanky full stop. It doesn't matter what it is.

Although if you found packaging from multiple watches, I would say they were more likely to have been stolen.

You'd think if you'd stolen them you'd keep the boxes.

I’m surprised it’s flytipped to be honest, I thought designer packaging was in demand as people then pedal fakes inside of authentic packaging.

It's disgusting. There's charity shop near me that has been closed since March, there are signs on the door saying not to leave anything. I went past this morning and you can barely see the shop front because of all the shite that's been dumped. Most of it looks like household rubbish as a number of the bags have split.

Utter scum

FWIW if we’re on the subject of fly tipping, I live in an area that is quite bad for it and last week I came across a huge stash of Il Divo CDs someone had dumped Grin definitely the weirdest flytip I’ve seen so far!

Buying designer gear is different to having class and or a social conscience.
People that fly tip simply don’t care.
YANBU though, it’s really annoying.

It's skanky either way. Neither here nor there whether its designer.

It could be that someone has paid for a load of junk to be taken to the tip but they dumped it.

Flytipping is usually done by builders or those paid for disposing waste.

It's called recycling.

Love the word skanky. Skanky. Skanky. If you say it too many times though it gets weird.

You're, of course, quite right. They may have paid someone to get rid of it and they've dumped it. Legally though, it's still their waste and their responsibility to check the company have a license.
