Yes even those who go out picking up rubbish to make a point of it being a rubbish tip!<br />In my humble opinion, the best way to tackle the problem is to allow those who are paid to take away rubbish to do just that and to educate people into putting rubbish into bins and those bins be emptied regularly.<br />Forget the landfill cost targets, lead by example and clean the rubbish up!Kev Owennoreply@blogger.com
