Why the Hell do they do this?

Went for my Sunday walk this morning, bit to misty for any long shots very pleasant though, until I came across this pile of rubbish just dumped on the edge of a field.
What gets into these people, they obviously have no sense of social responsibility, and have never heard of the country code, “take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints”.
Luckily amongst the rubbish were some plastic bags, this allowed me to clear it up.
I really do despair!

This is what it looked like earlier in the year.

Re: Why the Hell do they do this?

Why? Because they're ignorant morons.

Simple as that. Good on you for sorting it.

Re: Why the Hell do they do this?

This happens in urban places too, .... and just beside dustbins!
and
Some really awful folk just walk past and chuck their rubbish onto my driveway.!

Social responsibility seems to be a rare thing these days.. , the no of vandalised Phone booths, Bus stops shelters and destruction of any sort of street furniture ( not to mention "avoiding" keeping the countryside clean) is appaling

Well done for sorting it though

Re: Why the Hell do they do this?

Agreed, nice job on clearing it up. This is one of my pet hates, why ruin the area through selfishness

Couldn't you have put the picture in Photoshop & Cloned it away?

Better still, couldn't he have put the culprits into the picture and then put the picture into Photoshop and cloned them away?

Re: Why the Hell do they do this?

I believe the local council are in the habit of going through the rubbish to ascertain the identity of the dumper. Would have been nice to have found an address then dumped it back on their lawn and grabbing a photo
