    Using the numbers on the bill and using the persons name get various companies to ring them about anything that might embarrass them. Like a video store ringing about some late fees on porn videos.

    Option 3! With a video!
    Make sure they don't cop on to that it was the bill that gave them away, in case they try it again...

    I think everybody is being very one-sided here. Try to see it from the dumpers point of view. He wanted to get rid of his rubbish, but didn't want to buy a bin tag. In a way, aren't we all trying to get rid of our rubbish without buying a bin tag? I mean emotionally? I say he's a hero.

    Plus, I think the countryside aesthetics are enhanced by strewn litter. It brings an urban edge to what is otherwise a big bunch of snot-green nothingness.

    Option 3 Darragh29!...I once drove along a back road and came upon a guy dumping several black bin bags full of crap at the side of the road, i promptly blocked his people carrier which held his wife and weans as well, and roared at him to clean up his stinkin crap:eek: which he did with a big red face on him, all ther time i roared about how he was a stingy tramp, and was messing up the countryside...his wife couldnt even look at me whilst all this was going on...now to cap it all off , he was driving an english reg vehicle and he admitted to being here on holidays and claimed he didnt know about our systems of waste disposal:confused::mad::mad::mad:

    you could get done yourself if you just dump the rubbish in front of their house..

    If i were you, id go up to the house, knock on the door..and in your sweetest most nicest voice expalin how you'v found their "belongings" and apologise for going through their private "belongings" but you wanted to find some address for the owner because there is a lot of "belongings" here and they've obviously lost it or it had been stolen(feign horror) and your such a good samaritan that you wanted to return it to the rightful owner...If they protest at all just wave them off..."no no, dont mention it..just doing my job as a decent member of society"

    I know you wont get the satisfaction if destroying their garden BUT you'l get to have a look at the shock on the face of the owner of the "boomerang rubbish"

    oohhh..for added effect, remove the phone bill or anything else that you could have got the address off of and leave them wondering how the hell did you find them!..

    Number 3, number 3, number 3 :D


    Seriously though, you probably should have taken photos including the bill and given them over to the litter warden. Have you reported it to them yet? - there may be more bills etc in the rubbish so they can still be tracked.

    don't dump it on the lawn :mad:

    return it through the letter box :D


    rent a room for a month
    with the eircom bill you can ring up and get address changed to that room and ask for a statement, when it arrives you are one step closer to having a second identity ;)
    don't forget to have the address changed back

    the trick here is to wait 5 years before phase 2

    Boards.ie does not condone illegal activity including all the actions mentioned in this thread.

    Why were you looking through rubbish bins?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,440 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Magnolia


    I'm aware of the contents of green bins being robbed, bagged, and dumped illegally to get the bin owner fined etc.

    If the contents of your green bin gets robbed report it to the Garda and have it recorded, the litter warden may come a knocking.

    I was cycling up past view point (Beside the hellfire club) and the amount of rubbish lying about the place was unbelievable, There was waste from tradesmen and bottles everywhere, I actually had to turn around it was that bad.

    I know someone that dumped up the mountains and left a bill lying in it, The feds actually went through rubbish in the area he dumped in and he received a bill a few weeks later. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    Darragh have you decided what you're going to do?

    keep us informed!

    2 and/or 3. Take one bag , dump it in the garden, report the other 2 to the council.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,009 ✭✭✭✭Run_to_da_hills


    Lads in my old job found a bag of rubbish in the green bin, after sifting through it they found a turned down job application from Dell. One of the lads copied the letter headed paper and wrote back to the same guy telling him that Dell had reconsidered his application and that he was to ask for Mike Hunt in person at the reception. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 887 ✭✭✭suitseir


    Removing the Eircom Bill means the local authority will more than likely not remove the bags as you have ` tampered` with the evidence! Ridiculous but true! You should have just taken the information from the bill and then put it back in the bags.

    It would be great to have a name and shame situation for those fined for dumping rubbish. Something similar to the tax defaulters.

    If it was me, I would have taken pics of the rubbish (with the Eircom bill) and the background of the place,then put them in the boot of the car, and brought them back to where they originated! Other than that, you could photocopy the bill, send it in the post to the owner and tell them that you have brought the matter to the attention of the community warden!

    I work in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council although the area you are talking about might be South Dublin's jurisdiction. If its the Dun Laoghaire area you are in I would advise reporting it. The litter wardens are pretty good. Only thing is though I think you might need photo evidence of the bags or something..... I'm not fully aware of the legal side of things.

    Edit: Just seen the previous post. You should def write a letter to the person anonymously give them a fright!

    off topic but if that's what they actually said it really annoys me. "Not our problem"...sounds like children fighting over who has to do the dishes.

    This is what is doing my head in. I live at the foot of this hill (Montpelier Hill), and this is where I go for a walk at least 3-4 times a week. It is the most beautiful part of Dublin County I think, except for the fact that it is used as a dump by a small minority of sh*theads who think it's grand to bring their rubbish up here and f*ck it out onto the road.

    You have to ask what the f*ck are the Co. Council doing??? Is it asking too much for someone to use a bit of f*cking initiative and put up some hidden surveillance to catch what are no doubt the same people illegally dumping rubbish in the same place, week in and week out??? Hit them with a 3K penalty and make an example out of them. All lost for the want of some initiative on the part of public sector MUPPETS who are living in la la land in the Co. Council. The same lazy c*nts are complaining that they are not properly funded by central government, maybe if they got up off their poxy arses and started challenging people who flout the law by illegally dumping rubbish in the county and hit some of them for 3K a go, then they would have more money.


    EDIT. I'll be walking up this way later and I'll take my camera and show you all the absolute state of the place from illegal dumping.... Pics to follow this evening...

    did you take photos? Did you dump the rubish?
    I was glued to this thread you should let us know....:)


  • Posts: 6,025 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    yeah Darragh, whats the story?

    I hope you did two or three.
    I so agree with you, its disgraceful what some people do. I see people standing beside bins, and still dropping the rubbish everywhere.

    Last summer a letter of mine was published in the Irish Indepedent-within a few hours RTE called (they had got my phone number from the local post office) asking me to be on the show. Sadly they didn't get time to fit me in that day.

    I think it would be best if the thread was locked as it is only encouraging internet vigilantism such as what happened with Dog poop girl in South Korea and potentially be putting boards at risk. Report it to the relevant authorities.
