Rubbish

It's very bad here. Trash is thrown out along the roadside, in shopping center parking lots, on store floors...you name it. I think it is just the polite thing to do to put trash in the garbage cans, especially when they are provided! We were out at one of the local lakes the other day at a park and I was just amazed at the junk in the lake. We found a baby stroller emerged, coke bottles, and misc. junk!

Hello there. I am glad my neighborhood does not have garbage problems. My country has done a good job in educating us to dump our rubbish properly. The habit of throwing litters into the dustbin has been instilled in me since young. I hate seeing people throwing litters on the ground or dumping rubbish along the streets. That's very inconsiderate of them My country has been termed the 'Fine' country. People who are caught littering/spitting/dumping in my country will be fined SGD 1000 or USD 667. This has deterred some people from littering.

Fortunantly I live out in the country where its not that big a problem. At my mothers in town its pathetic how much just has to be picked up before she can mow. She lives on a corner so there are always lots of bottles, cans & such.

It's all over my country here. I come from India. Especially, the tourist places are filled with filth. Even the most beautiful places like the Himalayas are full of filth and garbage. People just throw, plastics and pepsi, coke cans everywhere. It's just a horrible sight to see. Even the tourism officials never seem to be bothered about it. And not to ask, these hospitals also throw all the bandage and medicine wrappers and syringes on the road side. Can you believe hospitals disposing garbage in such a filthy manner spreading germs everywhere?

I don't know why it is so hard for people to out their trash in a trash can. There is a lot of trash on the sides of the road where I live and it drives me crazy. Don't throw trash out of your car and throw it in a trash can if you're out walking! Grrrr! That's what the trash can is for. I never throw trash anywhere except a trash can.

Yeah I know, I hate that. Just yesterday I was walking behind this man who was carrying this big white plastic bag. There were bins like every 10 metars on his why but at the certain point he got out something from his plastic bag and threw it down on the street. I was astonished, just couldn't believe it. I mean, I don't understand that kind a people. I wouldn't understan if he threw something smaller but a big plastic bag...that's incredible.

Yes...it happens all the time here in Toronto too. People just throw thier trash on the ground sometimes when a garbage is just a few steps away...however I do feel that more garbage cans need to be made available especially in the bigger cities...

Rubbish and proper disposal of it is a common problem here in my place, I really don't know why people do this. I believe part of the problem is also those authorities who implements such laws, if they don't strictly uphold it and no one heard of someone apprehended because of violating the laws then people will never stop doing what they think is the easiet way to dispose rubbish. No matter how hard they push information drives, people will not follow, especially when they see that these authorities were the first one's that breaks their laws. I make sure that I just do my part, hoping that others would realize that maintaining a clean environment can provide us benefits..

Its a most common site to see people throwing garbages in roads in my city..usually the corporation staffs get clear all those garbages from the dustbin and its pathetic to see them doing this work.some people here just throw the garbages outside the dustbin and make the roads dirty too.. when the corporation employees sometimes dont come for cleaning these stinks and causes bad smell all over the place..i feel people needs civic sense not to throw garbages in roads and out them only in dustbins..

There are still many people who do not care about the environment. There many who do not care about others, about the public, about the society or the community. All they care is for their habit that they could not break, that is, to throw rubbish anywhere they like. No matter what you do or how many campaigns are done by the authorities, these people would stop at nothing. I wonder how can we teach them some lessons?

Yes, I have to admit that there are some people who throw their rubbish without putting it into the rubbish bins. They are not friendly to our environment, which is so bad behaviour. I hope that they will enjoy good quality to take care of our environment.

actually in china,there are so many rubbish throwed outside anywhere by people.people dont care about the adverse influence of the rubbish,just cuz the convenience and lazzy habit.sometimes when you look at the bad behavior that nobody come out to ban,we will doubt why i should keep the ground clean rather than others.so we start to throw our rubbish anywhere. but now i'm living in Australia,i dont find anyone throw their rubbish anywhere,so if i throw it i will feel shy and embarrassed.i think the reason why people throw rubbish is people are approved to throw it.If there are some supervisor or monitor,the situation will be better.

Well Sis, I found it to be people's nature, like you know, some people are naturally dirty, no matter how you scold, talk, correct, they still find it very difficult to change, So I think thats just the reason you see such thing, It happens in every neighborhood. Like they say Cahrity begins at home, thats just how they live in thier various places.

in my country this seems to be a way of life. throwing dirts and litering the environment not only harms the environment but also harms our health. i think people should begin to have a rethink of their actions.

Yes, this happens in our area. I think it's a lack of thought for others and people not caring about their neighbourhood. I see many adults and children just throw their rubbish in the street. My children were taught from an early age to either put their rubbish in a bin or take it home with them and my grandchildren have been taught the same. It doesn't really take much effort to keep the neighbourhood tidy but too many people just don't care.

Oh that is just plain nasty for people to throw their dog poop into other people's yards. I don't notice it in our neighborhood and everyone pretty much picks up after themselves however I do see the odd dog dropping which annoys me because its on the footpaths which I walk on - its disgusting when owners don't pick up after their animals.

is it in U.K too i thought it is just in my country no way nothing will happen,we tird from our pfficials of garbage. i think killing them this is the way to know how we hate rubbish in our streets.

I should say that this was a guity things that the people threw the gabarge at her garden,and i really hate the people who often throw the gabarge at the ground.because all of the gabarge was threw by people is one reason caused the environment pollution. if you can remind youself do not throw the rubbish anywhere,you will make a contribute for the environment protection.you should think about that a lot,if everyone does like you did,the world will become beautiful as it was.

I think it is disgusting when people throw away their garbage on the ground; especially if it isn't that hard to walk less then a minute to the nearest garbage can. These bins are not left outside just to be pretty little boxes; it is to help prevent pollution and garbage-buildup in our environment. The worst was when my old school did a clean up of a park and the next week we found a large amount of garbage in the same place! It really is sad that people have gotten this lazy.
