What’s wrong with people?

A local beauty spot near us or watching the clear up at Glastonbury. Take your rubbish home ffs.

Not that I’m defending people littering but if everyone took their rubbish home from Glastonbury it would put loads of people out of jobs.

The mess at the end of mass public events is quite simply disgusting. In Japan everyone is expected to take their rubbish home and they do.

We're just a bunch of entitled pricks over here.

One could say the same about street littering.

That’s slightly different as it’s not picked up pretty much immediately but I guess you’re right.

This boils my piss.

Of course I am now of an age where I am perfectly prepared to call someone out in this when I see it happening. I’m embracing the grumpy old man phase of my existence

A lot of the people that clean up after festivals are volunteers, and not necessarily paid for it.

I’ve been to plenty of large motorbike rallies/shows where we mostly tidy up after ourselves. So to me it’s just selfish behaviour.

I didn’t realise they were volunteers. I remember reading about a company that runs the cleanup operation and assumed they paid people.

I used to live near Silverstone and worked to clean up after the grand Prix. I got paid through an agency.

It's usually volunteers that clean up after festivals, I know at Leeds a homeless charity joins in and they can take tents and other camping stuff that people just abandon

I’ve only been to no camping festivals. Even then I didn’t drop litter. Surely the festivals make enough money to pay for cleaning services.

That’s what I thought would happen.

I know at other festivals they get a ticket in return for cleaning up. No actual funds involved.

The council don't pay festival clean up. They do however pay for the clean up after travellers have wreaked havoc wherever they decide to annihilate, street litter, fly tipping etc. Makes me fucking sick that people just gives zero shits.

If people took their litter home from somewhere like Glastonbury, it'd probably end up spread over many miles, and cost even more to clean up

Considering the price of a ticket that’s probably a worth more than a days wage.

It's the "not my problem anymore" mentality. Woods behind me are a state due to constant littering.

Where i live the council just passed funding to 'organise' the litter picking volunteers who set up during lockdown. I do worry they are now part of the problem as they deal with vast amounts of fly tipping, canabis farm dumps and student end of tenancies.. I think the city would be engulfed if they stopped

I work opposite a McDonald's. I think they should write the numberplate on the bag with a view to "if you're rubbish gets found you get fined" coz the amount of fucking rubbish is diabolical.

Seriously we have cars pull onto our car park, open the door, dump their rubbish out and drive off.

You can see rubbish everywhere these days. From broken furniture and mattresses on the side of the road to empty takeaway boxes on the pavements. You even see them throwing stuff out of the windows whilst driving. Some people are just despicable and also the law is not tough enough or at least not enforced well.
