unfortunately in Birmingham it now appears some people think it is OK to drive along in their car and empty the rubbish onto the road, however there are loads of womble groups being set up to collect others peoples rubbish.

some people just dont care and unfortunately with no real penalties nothing is going to change

likewise why do some dog owners pick up their dogs and then hang the bag off trees etc (defies understanding)

The outlet could simply print the receipt number on the packaging. As most payments are by card it wouldn't be rocket science to track the culprit. That's if the Government and local authorities really want to address the problem. Peter

I work in Birmingham at the moment resurfacing the roads. Its the only place I've ever worked where we have to pre-sweep the roads of detritus before we plane off the surface as we can't see the manholes/gulleys etc otherwise. Victoria Rd a couple of weeks ago the pre sweep blocked up the road sweeper three times with number plates that jammed up the suction pipe. We also have a sharps team on stand by to collect the needles/flick knives. Oh, and we get death threats almost daily. Nice place!
