Better yet....”fly tipping”....
????
I wouldn’t describe fly tipping as better. It’s a blight. Environmental unfriendliness by those who don’t care for our planet
Is that like dumpster diving?
Yeah, we have the same problem here. The County “bulk waste” management crew will haul away large items, but people don’t want to wait or schedule it. Instead, folks will drive along our back road here and dump all kinds of large house hold goods & junk. Tires, kitchen reno junk, mattresses, old furniture, the list is long. The sad thing....the county makes it difficult for folks to schedule pick-ups, BUT has to later go around and pick these random piles of refuse up. ?♂️?♂️
Fly tipping = dumping household garbage/tires/junk/etc out along a back road. Instead of taking it to the dump (UK = tip) folks just dump anywhere away from their house. A mess.
Ahh, I get it. It’s the same here, it’s so hard to schedule a pick up date and time that people dump bulky items anywhere that is convenient for them. It’s so sad, especially since we’re on an island! It really isn’t that far to the convenience center.
Sorry, civic amenity center?
Oh check this out...I'm standing in my bedroom window looking at the brown color out there thinking that I can see about 10 birds in that dead stuff, then there's flocks of tiny Goldfinches hitting my feeders, then literally wave after wave of California quail popping out from under the blackberry bramble...I lost track at about 25. I don't get to see those very shy quail often, Then to cap it all off a big fuzzy bunny came over to eat on the growing day lillies. Picture all that wildlife in my yard. at the same time. It is not as cool in the telling...it was really cool for me...
My memory in everyday living is so bad well it's just bad...however I can tell you who is driving what car in what race.in NASCAR, I can tell you the end of movies from the 40's and up and other stuff...selective memory???
I am so glad you asked that I was gonna ask as well but then I thought a hot dog is better ta ta!
Thanks I am. I did go out and buy some zenia and echenachea seeds. Had a cat scan. Blah blah blah ? but now I'm just enjoying helping Dilly go in and out through the gate over and over again. I have to keep a pretty tall pet gate in the doorway to our kitchen because Razberri can hop higher than she knows. Even though Dilly can jump it easily, he's a senior citizen cat. Once I started trying to help him out a bit, that was the end of me sitting on my but all day.?sooo
I think it's close to our Goodwills. I asked that once too.
Got it. I am so confused, blame it on Chubbs. Just for general purposes I’ve started blaming everything on him☺️
I know what you mean.?
I don't blame you ?
That's because he is so damned blameable...lolololololololololololololollololololololo
Oh hell Cathie, that was aimed at Snoopy's mom about Chubbs.
Hehehe ☺️
Makes me mad and has been much worse during lockdown with the tips either starting a booking system or making people queue to get in. All because the council wouldn't allow more than one person at a time on the site - yet the chances of catching covid in a supermarket are much higher. Ridiculous!!!! I could rant on for ages about it!!!!

No I think your Goodwill shops are what we call charity shops.
Fly tipping is very antisocial and anti environment dumping of waste.
