I think we should combat these particular bots but dumping plastic in a river somewhere. Or by burning a tyre in our garden.
My council doesn't even seem to want to collect my plastic recycling. I put the bin out on the correct day but the bin men are too lazy to come down the end of my road. I've rang the council several times to complain but nothing happens so I end up digging it out of my recycling bin and dumping it in the communal mixed trash.
We pay £300 a month council tax for that quality service.
