Windgates rubbish

mariaalice

This appro of nothing its just a little rant and the person could have come from anywhere.

On the back road in Windgates someone went up last week, probably at the dead of night and threw a black bag of rubbish on the to the side of the road,:( containing garden wast, mostly hedge trimming and paper etc.

What a filthy thing to do.

Rant over.

Anyone could have done it, years ago my first husband went through a bag of rubbish that had been dumped in the same spot, he found an envelope with an address on it and went to their house, I have to say they were quick smart about coming back to clean it up when caught.

I would no do anything like that because I would be afraid but my ex husband would not be the type to be intimidated by anyone.

This kind of behaviour disgusts me - there is a handy app on iOS that helps you report it, you take a photo, it tags it with the GPS and sends it off. "See it? Say It!"

Haven't had to use it myself but pulled it down when I came across a similar bag in the Glen of the Downs woods a few months ago.

Unfortunately there will always be idiots out there more than happy to spoil our scenery, and chances are they will be the first to complain when money dries up from lack of tourism/investment due to some behaviour.

This kind of behaviour boils my blood. Not just up here on Windgates, but anywhere. Council don't seem to do anything about it either. A while ago someone left a box full of broken beer bottles at the bus stop & I ended going up with a brush to clean it up as it was just left there & was sick of walking the dogs around it. There is absolutely no need for it. :mad:

This is a common problem. Rubbish is being deposited all around the quieter areas. It was becoming an issue on my road so I picked up a bag found some proof of Identity and contacted the Litter warden. There was a fast response, the warden was very helpful. He took the evidence with a view to issuing a fine and the road was cleaned up and monitored. Problem pretty much solved except for the scumbags who throw litter out their car windows. That I just clean up myself.

Guys, we understand that this is a topic that hits a nerve and rightly so tbh.

We just ask you to keep it civil while having a rant, we have younger folk here and we should be leading by example.

Many thanks and happy ranting,

We should chip in and set this up on the road..although somebody would probably read this, and then go steal it. :rolleyes:

I was driving there and saw the rubbish, drove over some glass.

The world is full of ***** like this unfortunately.

Guys, if you find stuff like this just ring the Wicklow CC Litter Warden on 1890 548 837. I've called them in the past and got a very speedy and satisfactory response.

Similarly, if you're out in the Wicklow / Dublin Mountains and see something similar, call PURE based in the Wicklow Mountains National Park offices near Laragh on 1850 365 121.

Why do these services use 1890 and 1850 numbers? These are a scam, and not included in phone service packages as 'national and local' calls which are now usually uncharged, while these do cost.

Anybody know the local equivalent numbers?
