Photographs show the litter-strewn state of Cardiff as city looks to cut public bins.
Wait till the new recycling bags start it will get ten times worse they are rubbish and will blow open all over the place.
I thought this was another Sludge thread.
How often do people use public bins anyway? If I'm somewhere with litter and can't find one I'll just keep the wrapper or whatever on me. I don't get the flytipping thing at all. Are there people really using public bins to dispose of lots of rubbish?
Bins in parks and places like that I can understand, but how many bins are needed in our streets?
Actually, maybe not. The council has voted to stop cutting grass verges and areas of 'green space' throughout the city, so it will become tangled up in the weeds and long grass..
The thought of visitors to Cardiff commenting on how litter-strewn and dirty our city has become should make the Council hold their collective heads in shame. They should be showcasing the city, starting by prioritising a major clean-up of the city centre and keeping it clean.
Meant as a separate reply , not as a response to Taunton's comment.
What a load of rubbish
Nah it wont - the current lot (I think Cardiff has been Labour ever since I can remember) they are too busy creating traffic chaos and increasing air pollution to worry about what visitors to Cardiff think.
Hugh Thomas Leader of the Labour Council and an Oxford graduate - a brainy socialist ? - you would think he would be able to do better....sadly his degree was in music - so he might be able to play you a song - if you ask him nicely.
On a serious note the state of the city centre and Queen st is pretty horrible, I wander out when Im in the office in my lunch break - not a nice place to any more - on a par with Swansea city centre
Re-wilding! Making meadows.
My grandson, who was 15 at the time asked why was there always so much litter around and why was the city centre so very dirty. He lives in Malvern but loves Cardiff and he couldn't understand why as a capital city nothing ever seemed to be done to spruce the place up. Couldn't agree with him more.
I love Malvern and a place Id love to retire to, especially if the Council keep up the sterling work they are doing in making the place I was born and live an absolute @arsewipe of a city
Hurry up and retire then ff sake and naff off to England you tory tart
They’re already doing it. Most of the rubbish is fly-tipped in Grangetown. Clean as a whistle around the BBC Wales monolith though. Having said that. Nabbed a lovely pair of wooden chairs the other day and an ottoman just before Christmas. Full of Frankincense too. Must have been dumped by someone from Lakside.
Oi posh boy where do you live again ? in Cowbridge wasnt it ? - the Toriest of Tory areas. Surrounded by all that Tory filth you proclaim to hate.
It must be easy living over there in posh lands of the vale of Glamorgan, you are probably over at the golf club as you read this. You are one of those pretend Labour socialist working class heroes on the outside yet mix with the posh boys down the vale golf club on the inside who you do your painting and decorating for....
Well said, he's a hypocrite 😆
Wrong
Moved now
Keep guessing
Golf is for tory ponces
Run to mummy
I don't blame the council for general litter. I blame individuals for that. It's hard to know how to totally resolve it and I can't say I don't think there are enough litter bins around. They are pretty frequent and if there isn't one you hold on to your litter til you find one.
But, I do blame the council for general waste issues. The agenda of making tip visits harder, less collections for general waste etc is just asking for trouble. Parts of the city are an absolute state.
Going to the Tip is a piece of piss. Go online, book a slot, turn up and do your thing. 26 visits per household per year i think.
We need some teams issuing spot fines for littering. The word would soon get out
You can organise a litter pick in your local area anytime or join one of the many that already operate around the city. Mrs Citizen is doing one this weekend. Instead of moaning about shit, do something about it.
Whilst community litter picks are great in keeping local areas cleaner, they don't address the problem of people dropping litter in the first place.
Maybe we should follow Iran and start chopping off people's digits?
There was never a problem just turning up as and when. About 18 months ago I turned up not realising I needed to pre book. The thick prick on the gate who had a bit of 'power' in his head wouldn't let me in even though there was not 1 vehicle waiting to enter.
