Here on Cleveden Hill you cannae cross the pavement without being snagged by heaps of abandoned trees that'll likely lie there till about March  Impediments on the pavement-- meaning folks with buggies etc can hardly get past. What is WRONG with people? Round here there's about 3.5 4x4s per household on average, so why not just get up off your entitled arses, wrap your bliddy detritus in a dust sheet and take it up the recycling at Dawsholm, about 200 metres up the road Or, like travelling on public transport, is that just for the 'lower orders'? Bah, bah and thrice bah.... |

Either by car or by draggin em up the pavement. So how come they cannae quite manage to dispose of em without needing the local clenny to pick up after them? HUH? |

But cry me old-fashioned.  |

But cry me old-fashioned. Am not saying too cannae doon here, but the coonsil pick them up wae the other rubbish, they take them to the recycling centre. You are allowed tae take them yer self if you wish. A lot of people do, depending on when the bin men come efter Xmas. But here, as we don't have a built up area like your place, the hooses here have plenty of garden or drive space to keep them beside their bins, name tenements around here to cause a build up of rubbish waiting to be picked up. I must confess though oor bin collection service is excellent, wan of the few things the local coonsil manage to get right. |

Nah, you're still missing the point there, Nota  The issue's not wi yer average West End tenements, 8 to a block. I'm about em on a daily basis and there's hardly any tree detritus, honest! Back me up here, Bormes FFS!
I'm talking entitled hoity toity folks (unfortunately near me ) that white-glove it and expect everyone else to clear up after them. It's an attitude thing. And it sucks. (Needless to say BMW salesman-fin-car-diddy-neebor-next-door's discarded giant look-at-me tree's all over the feckin pavement) plus a neeb three doors down who's put out three of em while owning four cars. They need to fuck right off, in my humble opinion, LOL. ;D |

AND, guess what? 18th of January and the bloody things are all still there. Maybe we should get a task force of young jobless volunteers to come dispose of em? Give them a reference on their CV, a wee leg up in the competitive market for minimum wage jobs for highly qualified graduates.  |

In GCC they are supposed to have Land Services come and collect and they get mulched for composting.
My biggest gripe is those who wait until March and then throw the feckers out, after the 'mulching period' is over with as they used to have a window of collection. We've only had one real tree and when it died (about 2 days after we bought the damn thing) but we held out with it until after Christmas and then dropped it off at Victoria Park where it was put into the shredder in front of us and turned into chippings.
The neighbour above me took his out in March, dumped it in the street and the needles were all over the stairs and landings - did he take a brush to it? I eventually brushed them up and stuck them through his letterbox with a little polite warning, signed off by myself.
