Fly-tipping - Councils are also to blame
I often see a pile of rubbish dumped at the side of the road.
How would the people responsible feel if I left my rubbish outside their homes?

I recently attempted to take some off-cuts from conifer trees to a site and was told the load was too big.
While I stood and argued, people were dumping far bigger loads – some of it building rubble which, to the best of my knowledge, cannot by recycled.
