recycled rubbish roads!

2 pick ups a YEAR?? So what about when someone needs to chuck a big item between the two pick ups? Someone who lives in a small apartment can't hold on to such items for months like that. Of course they're going to find alternatives our of desperation. I dunno, I'm of two minds. I think it's terrible to dump anything, first. But I also do empathize with those who don't have options for this. I looked up how expensive it is to call a rubbish pick up and disposal company, and it's definitely too expensive for many to consider. I'm talking over $100 just to have a mattress removed. That's insane. I think the best solution would be for multi-tenant buildings to work with their cities on this. Say for a block of apartments, they decide upon on large item drop off spot, and then the city have an arrangement to come and do a weekly pick up.

most maintenance companies will take away things at a cost. Sometimes you have to be responsible for the removal of your own items at times i guess when its not available for free. Im what you would call living in regional and coastal so im not based near a large city. A lot of my friends will find dumping grounds and take their vehicles collect it sort it and remove it.  If they find evidence among the rubbish iys reported to police and people have been prosecuted as a result. Everyone has to do their bit even if its picking up after the scumbags who dump it. I also know our shopping centres have 3 part recycling bins in place but the whole lot goes into a compacter and none of it is recycled.  Its just for their EPA ratings. Big  businesses are corrupt while making out they are doing the right thing. We had a series on sbs tv not long ago called war against waste and they placed a gps in a facility that collects your unwanted shopping bags for recycling. It was followed to a warehouse that claimed no plastic bags were recycled there?
