Damn shame

I really don't understand why people find it necessary to dump their garbage in gullies and tracks when it can be collected at no charge from their residence.

It is the ultimate expression of ignorance. And it seems to be practiced at all levels of society either directly or indirectly by turning a blind eye.

I haven't been paying attention as I should have but the scrap metal trade seems to be the new fuel behind some of these dumps sites. And the environmental double whammy we have to endure is the burning of the garbage to remove plastic insulation and reveal the metal which is then sold to one of the numerous buyers. I don't know how it could be done but I wish there was a way to monitor the sources to these traders and seriously penalize offenders.
