Anyone else seen unusual littering recently? This is near Camden. Balance beam bin.

Actually you don't usually see it. Maybe a bit but not a big feature. More people have been out in the recent hot weather due to pubs being closed.

It's something that disgusts me, I have never understood the mentality/laziness

Infuriating isn't it ... they'll carry full bottles etc. for miles ... but as soon as anything's empty it's just dropped.
Folk chelping on about masks and gloves, and safe distancing ... I'm sick of seeing such items which have been dumped ... many apparently out of passing cars.
The trouble is that it doesn't take many litter louts to make a huge impression.

It's something that disgusts me, I have never understood the mentality/laziness Even along the paths we walked yesterday. And why do motorists lob rubbish out of their windows? Look along the side of any road. It's quite easy to put your rubbish in a bag and take it home, or to a rubbish bin. Well, it's not going to stop, unless offenders get culled by shooting them between their eyes it's the only language they understand.

Not red hot mooring pins?
One of the biggest problems is that people pick it up.
If everyone littered and just left it there then maybe some fruitful conversations would start about why the hell there is so much disposable material associated with food and drink consumption.
And meanwhile the rubbish makers rake in untold millions.

A friend in the Lake District sent me some pictures, absolutely disgraceful. LDNPA picked up 120 tons of litter at the weekend.
Roll on the day these city twats can go back to amusing themselves in a retail park c/w maccy d. Normal countryside users don't do that do they?

our local recycling centre has re-opened; the access road has traditionally been used for fly-tipping, one assumes by folk who turn up and find it is closed or are denied access. I was down there on Monday and saw the ultimate in fly-tipping - a caravan parked in a layby, windows and numberplate removed, and stuffed full of black bags.
I am thankful that as lockdown is eased the ignorant masses will no longer be tempted to use the local woodland parks for 'exercise' which for so many of them seems to include throwing down their drinks bottles, cans, wrappers, etc. There was a particularly nasty example the other day when I encountered a disposable nappy dropped in the middle of the path, full of shit. Even the angelic volunteer litter pickers would not have picked it so I used my sticks and lobbed it into the deep nettles.
On 'Countryfile' the other week a farmer was complaining about fly tipping on one of his access lanes - he pointed at the camera and said with great emotion "what on earth is wrong with you people?"

A few restaurants opened up down here for takeaways only ...no extra rubbish bins and the mess disgusting... They have now put more bins but some folk never use them. A lone council worker cleared up all the discarded mess. Seagulls also empty bins which adds to the problems.

I like to think the numbers littering are quite low ... I like to think. But the problem is, it doesn't take many to make a big mark. Plastic bottles and fast food wrappers have increased the opportunity for littering unfortunately. The 'green' amongst us who talk about saving the planet with renewables are whistling in the dark when we can't even stop littering Rog

My grrrrrr ....
People dumping stuff outside a charity shop even through lockdown when they are closed! Council are having to pick it up on a daily basis and that is after people have rifled through the bags and strewn contents over the place!

A lone council worker cleared up all the discarded mess. Seagulls also empty bins which adds to the problems. The cafe very close to the boat has opened for takeaways (Good luck to them for the effort as the workshops are opening up around) they have put up three bins in their yard area (which has seats) but people are crossing the road, sitting on the seawall ... and then throwing their rubbish over the wall onto our quay.
Over the lock down period I have put a lot of work into clearing the concrete quay of rubbish
and now these dirty bastards are making a mess again
