The most useless litter bin?

To avoid the road works that have been taking 7 weeks in the centre of our village I have taken to using the circular route of a public footpath through the fields. Today I spotted this litter bin at the edge of the fields.

Its brand new and looks unused. It really is in the middle of nowhere. A dog poo bin would be more useful as it popular route with those people. I have "ranted" on one of the 3 village Facebook pages. (Yes, there is a lot of ranting in our village).

Especially as our lane, three giant fields away, has a really bad litter problem.  At the end near the village is an informal gravel laybay that is regularly fly tipped and over this last week some one using the lane to go out on to the marshes bordering The Wash (where there are only a few houses, mostly big rich looking ones) has dumped FOUR  Big Mac bags with left over meals in at regular intervals. No wonder we have spotted rats in the field ditch!

If they moved the litter bin to our lane I suspect the Big Mac person would be to F*A*T to get out of a car to use it!!!    Rant on blog over, I will vent more ire on Facebook later!!!

Stupidest bit of fly tipping ever

Spotted this canister in the verge while I was cycling to the shops for milk this morning. Thought I would take another look just after tea fearing it was motor oil that if hit by a vehicle it would flow  into the dyke behind the verge.  It was worse - it was nearly empty but it was a commercial herbicide. 

Look how many danger red triangles it has on it.  I read the warnings and jumped away - if it gets on your skin your hand will fall off!!!!!!

As it was virtually empty, I was tempted to pick it up, wrap it and put in my bin but would that make me liable for its safe disposal? Would putting it in the bin be safe? The bin is actually empty so all the next 2 weeks rubbish would go on top - what if it split?

Went home and reported it to the Borough Council.  They can come and pick it up. Last time I reported some fly tipping they came the next day.  Also put a warning on the village facebook page too..
