Rubbish...

I've been reading a couple of blog posts (here and here) about littering and thought I'd tell you about the litter we get at our place...

We live on the corner of two major-ish roads which have a resonable amount of pedestrian traffic, so we get a lot of rubbish not just on our footpath put thrown over our fence into our front garden. There is a lot of the standard chip packets, pie wrappers, chocolate bar wrappers (there is a dairy about 3 doors up from us). We get the occasional beer/premix spirit bottle (ie. about 1 per week). But we get some interesting stuff too - a mobile phone (which was still working with recent texts on it, so we handed it in at the local cop shop), and a driver's licence.

This amount of rubbish would possibly make some people go crazy, but thankfully Peter and I can tolerate a certain amount of mess without any issue (which we put down in part to being 'last borns'). Although sometimes I get wish there wasn't a constant low level of litter at the bottom of our fence. What does get me annoyed is when they 'post' the wrappers into our letter box as if it is a rubbish bin!
