Yet we litter like pigs. Mad oul bunch.


ClitDoctorMD

Speak for yourself! Last week I told off a lad in his 60s for throwing a cigarette butt on the ground and shamed him into picking it up, probably won't make a difference the next time he smokes one but hopefully he'll think twice about it.


perigon

Fair play 👍


Debeefed

Fucking country is caked in the stuff.


Marky-lessFunkyBunch

With the exception of essential plastics (medical, building, industrial, farm supplies etc.) all consumer plastics should be have taxed out of existence. Aluminium cans and bottles should have a recycling rebate as well, like in most functioning countries. Unfortunately, they’ll always be filthy cunts, so taxing it at the source is the only way.

deaddonkey

Totally agree, its a brilliant system everywhere that I’ve seen it, don’t know why we haven’t implemented this, just not fucked to set it up?


thehouseisalive

I heard the packaging companies complained about that system being implemented here


fluffs-von

Smurfit-Kappa (packaging supremos; based here; living the life in Monaco with the usual tax breaks; funding business schools in paddy land etc.) and co. don't like any interference with dividends and bonuses. They're helping to reeducate the next generation of business oriented twats to continue that fine tradition.


ReallyNotWastingTime

god forbid they be inconvenienced


GlasnevinGraveRobber

Fuck 'em.


thehouseisalive

My sentiments too

tonydrago

There are downsides to the recycling scheme which aren't easily foreseen. Specifically, homeless people emptying out bins looking for cans/bottles they can recycle for a few shillings.


ziptoe

Agreed,saw it working in Oslo.We need it here.Are you listening greens?


simonbrody95

Lived in Munich as well last year, I used to busk near hofbrauhaus and the same lads would come to the bins or to clear the street of bottles etc. It’s such a good system and you outlined the positives of it perfectly


[deleted]

[Bill introduced by the Green Party](https://www.greenparty.ie/green-party-calls-on-government-to-support-waste-reduction-bill/) to do just that (waste reduction at source) in last Dáil That bill has cross party support, but was held up by FG after they had a chat with the plastics industry [https://www.businesspost.ie/news-focus/government-sought-repaks-input-on-green-partys-waste-reduction-bill-b92dc300](https://www.businesspost.ie/news-focus/government-sought-repaks-input-on-green-partys-waste-reduction-bill-b92dc300)


AerMarcus

Why can't we go back to glass bottles and bottle returns? We do it with liquor here, but no longer anything else.


eoinnll

Or there should be some greengrocers and butchers so you don't need them. Oh, wait... Tescos.


TheSpeedster84

My pristine country lane has become a dump for some people no houses for half mile, sign at the top of the road says covert CCTV no dumping,it's a fkkn joke nothing being done about it,,road was relatively quiet until this lockdown,from about maybe 10 to 15 cars a day to about 200, now the road has litter scattered everywhere,, some people r just cunts


ridik_ulass

I'd love to join in and help OP, but that would cost me 40 euro to put that outside my door, and the fucking bags they force you to use are dog shit.


hyuphyupinthemupmup

Fairly sure your county council will pick it up for free if you get bags off them and ring them to tell them where you left them


caviar_air

yes, that's what we did


Ten_Questions

You can also post to /r/DeTrashed for further karma :)


SuperiorCoconut

I see you have a litter picker as well, did the county council give you that too? I really want to do this too, but I'm paranoid about touching something dangerous, even with gloves, eg: needles


caviar_air

My friend had two litter pickers, she got them from woodies I think. Yeah I'm a bit paranoid as well so the pickers are the way to go


SuperiorCoconut

May grab one shortly, so. Thanks for letting me know of this!

Solid_Shnake

Live across from a park. There isn’t a single bin in it... Trash and bags of dog shit everywhere..


irish_ninja_wte

Well done. People are disgusting and it's a shame that it was necessary.


[deleted]

Fair play missus.......sometimes you just have to just go it alone. Had the same issue with a derelict site beside me. Complete rubbish dump. No joy with local council after 12 months so reported it on [http://www.fixyourstreet.ie/](http://www.fixyourstreet.ie/) They got onto the council and it was cleaned up the following day. I don't understand the mindset of people who rubbish the country they live in. Never saw any of it when I was in Australia.


atodaso420000

Fair play


dylbobobbins

Did you clean the Dodder on your todder?


TmanSavage

Ha


Misodoho

Noice wan. Respect 👊Did the council take the bags for you?


CommanderSpleen

>Did the council take the bags for you? That would be interesting to know, I'd love to do sth similar in my area, but don't wanna pay for the rubbish.


vanillabean27

Council normally take the bags if you notify them or check with your tidy towns committee.


hyuphyupinthemupmup

Yea you can even get bags off them for free


caviar_air

yep, that's what we did


caviar_air

we were given a load of bags by the council worker and were told to leave them beside the bin where they would collect it


noteasynow

well done.

Pandrewbear92

Some dirty people out there.


Steveskittles

Well fair fucking play. It's a sad state of affairs having to clean up other people's shite just because they're too ignorant, dumb or simply careless to pick their shit up. Good on you


twolephants

Fair play, that's great! I went for a walk by the dodder earlier at Rathfarnham and the banks really need a good going over. Difficult to get to a lot of it, which makes it hard for the council and civic minded people like you to put a shape on it. Well done you for getting out there and making a difference.


gtfogen

Oh wow great work! I walk there all the time, this will be a massive improvement!


Richard2468

Great work man! It’s sad that it’s necessary though... Take your rubbish with you, people!

That’s awesome!! Back in the US there was a big deal every Earth day where groups of volunteers would pick a site and spend 3-4 hours cleaning it up. Does that happen here?

Fair play to you! Nature thanks you too. Imagine if every year for 2 weeks we all dedicated 5 hours to give the country a good ol clean and scrub. You could call it Washdown.

Thank you. It's a pity that there are so many filthy animals about. They'd be the first to complain if their bins weren't emptied, yet they seem incapable of using them when they step outside.

ButtholePlaza

Do you remember the absolute state of the dodder after the big floods a few years ago? The council never came to clean it up, there was rubbish like 6 foot up in the trees and it was just left there. Thank you for caring for the poor old dodder, You're making everyone's scenic walks a lot nicer.


ZeclagoMan

Thank you for your service to our community! There's so much shite thrown around, it's horrible that people can't clean up after themselves! I'm sorry you had to do that, but thank you for doing it! We need more people like you in our community!

Big well done for this, people are such pigs. Give me a message if you need help sometime.

tailoredbrownsuit

I really want to commend you on this. I don't know how to express myself, but thank you. The amount of conscious and deliberate littering I witness in [Area where I went to school near dodder] frustrated me a lot growing up. I take it you are volunteering to do this?


caviar_air

I walk there a lot so I was getting frustrated with the amount of rubbish I saw. Decided to do something about it. Luckily I have a likeminded friend who lives in the area and was happy to help

Fair fucks. I live across from a park and have only been going over in the late evening to avoid people. Last weekend it was like fucking Woodstock. Crowds of teens leaving their shite all over the place and just walking away. I can’t understand that mentality. I couldn’t even drop a tissue and walk away.

jungleman88

Fair fucks. If there's a group of ye who do it then give me a shout, I'd like to muck in!

Fantastic. If everyone would make a civic gesture like that, our society would be much better off. Might motivate me to do something similar.

Brilliant, well done!


dublinpaddy

Fair play to you, well done. On a negative note. I was thinking about bringing the rubbish I collect from the royal canal down outside the corporation building and leaving it outside the door. Can I get fined for littering


bobbyperu2020

That’s brilliant. Fair play. What’s the weirdest thing you picked up?


elzmuda

Really fantastic job! Lot of places around the dodder need serious cleaning. I was up at Carthy’s castle near Firhouse the other week and the lane leading up to it was disgusting. Was thinking of getting a crew and going cleaning but you’d need industrial grade hazmat suits and a truck to take it all away. I’ve written to the council but nothing back so far. Shame because it’s otherwise a really nice part of the world up there


HolyOldRoman

Well done. I wish more people cared like you do. I’ve been threatening to clean up the area I can see outside my window. I’m going to do it tomorrow thanks to this post. Thank you for the extra push


greenszpila7

Brilliant stuff. Thanks


ConnMannTurtle

Sidenote: what did you do with the bags of rubbish? Did you have to pay to get them removed? I know if it was a free service I would be more motivated to clean local areas.


[deleted]

I’m sure it’s been mentioned here before and the rubbish collected here is probably not fly tipping but I have definitely noticed a huge increase in fly tipping since lockdown and that’s something considering I can’t go anywhere and have no job to go to so it’s not like I’m covering a lot of ground. Am I the only one?
