Hands up: do you chuck rubbish out of your car window?

[Beebopwasthebest]

My city is having its annual big litter picking weekend. Hundred of volunteers clearing their local areas and placing full bags near bins for the council to collect. It's fabulous😊.

My "picking" area tends to be heavy traffic and it's clear most of the litter is food and drink related and thrown from car windows when drivers are waiting at traffic lights.

I am quite interested to know who does this and why (someone must!). It's not dropped by accident and there will surely be an easy to use bin when you leave your car? Posted for traffic and the mix of opinions.

I tend to have a positive mind set when volunteering..no point getting too angry about litterers - I just hope one day, someone spots a windswept middle aged woman clearing the roads and decides to change their behaviour!

It's really depressing seeing all the litter these days. Especially the litter that realistically can't be picked up and will be there for decades - trapped behind fences next to busy roads, or caught in prickly bushes. Horrible.

On a related note it's great that people who climb Everest will now have to take their poo home with them!

Will they do it though? How will this rule be enforced? I'd love to think they won't be allowed off the mountain unless they produce the evidence!

No never! I have carrier bags in my car and take my rubbish home! Skanky people throw their rubbish out of car windows..I know this as every sunday morning I join a litter collection pick up rubbish group! ..Pigs who litter are gross!

100% no. Live very rurally, and am sick to death of the number of window flingers and fly tippers who think it's ok because we're in the middle of nowhere. Local farmer spent last Sunday cutting back the roadsides and the amount of shite that's been dumped is hideous. I've taken to stuffing a bin bag in my pocket when I go running and filling it on the way home. Lazy, dirty bastards 😡

No, I certainly don't. I don't eat or drink anything (not even chewing gum) in my car, nor do my grandchildren

I will throw an apple core /banana peel into a hedge (but not garden hedges, only country lane field hedges)
But I make sure the sticker isn't on it and it lands out of sight so it can rot to compost without being an eyesore.
But I would never throw anything else.

I think fast food seems to cause much of the litter

No need for this type of behaviour ever

I was on a day trip away with my boss sales manager and team many years ago and on the way back we'd all got fish and chips. When he finished he just opened the window and chucked it all out. No one said anything! I was too young and new into work at the time, but I wouldn't have stayed silent if that happened now.

Do you seriously believe anyone is going to admit to doing this?!

No, never.

But no-one’s going to admit to it, are they? 😂

NEVER and I don't get why anyone would eat take away driving along either-slobs or what?!!

I was stuck in traffic the other day and saw a bloke do just this. I beeped my horn and wagged my finger. I am sure he’s learned his lesson and won’t do it again! 😂
