littering

[*mrgrizz*]

our local paper now gets delievered in a plastic bag thrown from a car onto the verge/driveway.

do you consider this littering?

junk mail should go in a letterbox, or bin.  wait for them again next time and throw them back as he drives past.

They roll down from the neighbours house and lay in the middle of the road here. I might pick one up and bop their yapping dog. Then they can take it and clobber my crowing rooster

 actually i noticed the other day that the local mob have given up on the 'free' weekly paper (unless they think i'm a bit dangerous like a certain part of dubbo) because they don't come anymore.. that means buying an extra 2 rolls a week.

that means buying an extra 2 rolls a week.

Of what loo paper?

Yes, I consider that littering. They should put it in/on the mailbox. Unless there is a 'no junk' mail sticker on the mailbox, then they shouldn't leave one at all.

I phoned them to ask them not to leave one on our lawn (had a no junk mail sticker) but they still left one.

They have stopped throwing them on the lawn here now.

Funny you should say that.  I once lived in a house and had NO letterbox.  After months of asking one of the local throw-in paper companies to stop, they didn't, so I left them on the footpath where they had landed.  Then I collected them all, followed the older man who was delivering them, threw them into his car, and told him not to do it again or I would see that he lost his job.  (I obviously was a horrible old woman back then!)  It worked.

we have TWO burger joints up the road from us. (HJ's) and their customers continually throw empty drink containers and brown paper bags etc on to our verge...disgusting!...and someone told me they are building a Maccas as well.   think it might be time to move.
