[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7320797, member: 818"] Today I finally summoned the will to start something I've been meaning to do for ages, have a clean up along the verges that border the farm. And after managing to clear just under a mile of verge, and collecting 8 bags of rubbish plus a pile of larger items, I thought I'd compile a Top of the Pops for litter. In traditional reverse order, straight in at No 5 it's Builders Waste. Some kind tradesman has taken it upon himself to use the verges here to dispose of all manner of waste from his jobs, mainly it seems unwanted cans of paint thrown into the hedges and ditches. A broken bathroom basin was also found, plus one lone engineering brick (unused). Also a 10 foot long steel pipe, 4" in diameter. This will actually be useful (y) At No 4 we have General Plastic Wrappings. Mostly crisps, but all types of 'on the go' foods were well represented. Oddly enough the poster boys for litter, the fast food outlets were surprisingly low in number, possibly as they mainly use cardboard and paper in their wrappings, which rots quite nicely., especially when chewed up by the verge flails. Rising up to No 3 we have Glass Bottles. All alcoholic as well, ranging from beer to wine to spirits. As everyone knows, driving is hard work and requires a constant input of alcohol to maintain concentration. The top 2 were very close, it was nip and tuck all the way, but the final count put Drinks Cans at No 2. A mixed bag of everything from cheap beers and lagers to soft drinks, and a surprising number of 'energy' drinks. Which is not surprising, throwing all this rubbish out of your car or van does take it out of you. And the Number 1 in the Litter Hit parade is Plastic Bottles. The previous No 1 manages to maintain its pole position with an impressive display of littering range and quantity. Special mention must go to the remains of a satellite dish, and a car battery (which will get me £5 from the scrappy). Just another mile or so of verge to cover...................... [/QUOTE]
