Do you ever drop litter?

Never!! It makes me sad and mad in equal measure.

But if the bin is full you take the litter home with you, or carry it to the next bin.

I walk in a huge and beautiful open space and I can’t tell you how many times I come across an abandoned pile of picnic rubbish, food packets, drinks containers etc, usually accompanied by a plastic carrier beg, often quite a distance from the road and I think “ Surely if you managed to carry it here when it was a full and heavy carrier bag you could manage to carry it away with you now it’s only holding empty containers.” They don’t even bother to put the stuff back into the carrier to make it easier for the poor sod who is eventually going to clean it up. Mindless, littering, antisocial idiots.

And please don’t mention the al fresco bbq enthusiasts. Never heard of grassfires,nope, never.

I have been.known to toss an apple core/ banana skin/ orange peel into a thick hedge where no one will see it.

I hate littering and always have done.

when I was younger had a horrible boyfriend who threw his ashtray out of car on road and I was disgusted. Horrible habit

We live in mainland Europe now and it's the first thing I notice when returning to the UK. So much litter everywhere. Bottles of pee at the side of every dual carriageway, fast food wrappers everywhere, crisp packets, sandwich packets, plastic and glass bottles, cans. It's much worse than other countries.

Ashamed to say I think I may have left wkd bottles on the beach as a teenager underage drinking. Since then, honestly never littered as an adult. Always find a bin or shove rubbish in my handbag to throw away later.

The worst kind of litter has to be dog poo tied up in bags and hung on bushes, sometimes at eye level 🤢 never understood it.

I shit you not, a friend of my mum once did that to a bloke parked at traffic lights, while she was waiting on her bike. Only it wasn't ciggie litter he'd dropped out of his window, it was his leftover curry and chips. She promptly scooped it up and posted it back through his window, saying, "Scuse me, you dropped your chips, Sir!" in a cheery voice. The lights then changed and he had no choice but to drive off with a lap full of c and c. 😅

Yeah, same. If there's anything in my yard or the street in front of my house I pick it up.

No i don't litter. Where i work is geographically between a school and a corner shop but also down the bottom of a slope.

Every morning n term time I watch young kids eating chocolate for breakfast from the corner shop, they chuck the litter wrappers on the floor and they blow down the slope. They also chuck their illegally purchased vapes down.

I live on a road that leads to open countryside and 3 to 4 times entire takeaway bags of litter get dumped.

If you go to one of the big city parks at the end of a hot day, say Hyde Park in Leeds the students will have left it an absolute shithole. They order takeaway to the park and just leave their detritus.

Time for harsh penalties. Get caught littering. 100 hours of litter picking in a bright orange jumpsuit in a busy area so everyone can see what a shameful, environment ruining, selfish scumbag you are. Anyone over the age of legal responsibility should be made to do this.

Never ever ever. It’s one of my most hated anti social behaviours. If I have a piece of paper or something that blows away I chase after it!

I can’t stand it in the cinema either when people just leave their drinks containers and food wrappers. Just so rude

I bet those low life tossers (what us Wombles call people who dump/throw/drop litter) are those who in supermarkets, dump cheese in the baked beans, frozen burgers in the fresh meats.

Charities need to get rid of their donations bins from car parks. As these all attract fly tipping! As bags, mattresses etc are by them. I doubt anything in these bins are sold in charity shops. As they get set alight by scum and the charities rarely empty the bins

Oh and we live near country lanes and there is always a load of fly tipping.

Loads of people throwing fag ends, dog shit on the school run at least once a week.

Sone people are just disgusting and take no care or pride in where they live or visit.

Be careful doing this. My friend called a bloke out on dropping a sandwich wrapper. He punched her in the face. Absolute respect to her for pressing charges - it eventually went to court and he was convicted of assault. But awful experience for her

No never, and I always wonder the same as you, who is dropping the litter?

I have seen people throw litter from cars and vans and I’ve seen people leave litter on the beach.

I regularly see small children drop litter coming out of school and the parents either don’t notice or pretend not to notice.

What really gets me is people who fly tip next to public bins. I live near a small park, and pretty much every week, someone will dump things like a suitcase, buggy or box of kitchen equipment next to the normal bin, as if it's just normal litter.

Nope. When the wind blew over my recycling I chased it all over the street in the rain at 6am to pick it up, my neighbours stuff too as hers was on it's side as well. We can't bungee tie them while on the street.

Nope, and I’ll tell people off if I see them do it. I have to say it’s mainly men I’ve seen (my favourite moment was when a bloke dropped the cellophane from a cigarette packet out of his open car window while he was parked, and I picked it up and put it back through his window 😂)

Never. It was drummed into me as a child to take any rubbish home and I did the same with my own children. Some people are just selfish pricks who think nothing of dropping litter or, even worse, leaving their dogs shit for others to step in 🤮

Never.
Its lazy, entitled and vile.

nope never ever. its one of the most disgusting things humans do I think. I used to live near the beach and it was shocking what I picked up every day. especially after the weekend. takeaway wrappers were the worst. I live in the country now and you see it all the time in the ditches. no one cares I pick it up as much as I can. to people who do litter i wonder what sort of home you live in. here in Ireland we now have a deposit scheme where you pay a deposit on cans and bottles at time of purchase and return them to the machines in the shops and get your deposit back. its in a year. but there was outrage when it first came in peole were disgusted. radio shows papers etc reporting on the outrage. but now I have seen a reduction in cans and bottles being dumped. so it's working to some extent the same when the plastic bag tax came in. something like that needs to be on other stuff and also cameras everywhere and fine big time anyone who does litter

Never.
I will look for a bin or pop rubbish in my bag.

I have never allowed my child to drop litter either and they would be told off if they did.

I think it’s disgusting. I once saw someone throw a whole bag of McDonald’s packaging out of the drivers side of the window. Into the middle of the road. Unbelievable.
I have told someone that they dropped something and if the parents are oblivious, I’ll mention it to them if their child drops litter.

Urban foxes and full up public bins are a massive issue where I live (the bins especially in the summer) and this causes a lot of residual litter. Not making excuses for the absolute pigs who do purposely litter.

I remember many years ago I was having a fag break with someone who was quite new we had to go out to the business park and used a designated outside ashtray and we watched a car pull into a parking space and dump a tonne of rubbish out of their window - loads of food wrappers, cans etc. New colleague passed me her fag, walked over to the car and gathered up the rubbish, tapped on the window and when they wound it down she tossed it all into the car. She was my hero from that moment on.

Yeah, that's disgusting. I'd expect far better behaviour from runners!!
