Malcolm Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I see some nasty toe rag has fly tipped their rubbish down the bank towards the water at the car park & view point at Olna Firth.In the same spot someone couldnt be bothered to walk 4 feet further on to the bin to get rid of the crap off of their dash board.

fartypants Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Im not surprised there's fly tipping going on these days the skip in Bressay was only changed on Wed and that's from before christmas.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddisp Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thankfully it is just a few ignorant a-seholes who do this kind of thing.Saw a guy tonight at east voe marina sprayed his engine up with WD40 and fired the can over the side.

Sorry, but I don't see that as a reason. I'd never throw as much as a sweetie paper away till I got to a bin to put it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooter Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Afraid to say it goes on the whole time weather dumping stuff over the banks or throwing something out the car window, but on yesterday I saw someone out collecting rubbish from the verges along the Gulberwick road just past the observatory.

muckleflugga Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Another big problem is improper use of the community skips, seen many a builder filling them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelty1000 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 i come home about 6pm on most days the skips have been changed and the one at the end of the road is full before i get home, most of the time is is fencing wire or "trade waste" and in the summer i often see the grass cutting folk putting 20 to 30 bags of cuttings in them, But yet that is no reason for the fly tipping !!

What a waste!. Grass could go for compost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 "trade waste" and in the summer i often see the grass cutting folk putting 20 to 30 bags of cuttings in them Report them.. Tradespeople are not allowed to use community skips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhutch Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ive seen it once in Porth S.Wales and again in N.Ireland where theres skips inside compound fences with gates and cctv and its open hours to suit. Fair enough its manned and fair enough theres initial set up costs but its user friendly in that the skips are de-mountable truck boxes which are walk in and emptied promptly ,plus theres no "business" use. Both had a recycling area at the side for folks better bruck. Perhaps one wast , one nort and one sooth ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para Handy Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 They come with a skip to firth and its full and over flowing by lunch timeI wonder where the folk around here keep so much poop.As this happens evertime they come with the skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 It would fill faster if i didnt use so much of it , tv , rugs , etc. Some of the Firth skips are house clearances. I sincerely wish Bobbie the best of luck and the greatest of support with the new Mossbank charity shop , hopefully ease the skip filling issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
