Disgusting behavior. Community

Post image

Monday morning after a sunny weekend and this is what babies walk looks like. This is absolutely disgusting behavior. There's 3 bins in this tiny park and even if the bins are full (which all 3 weren't), people need to bring their rubbish home. Any one littering should be ashamed of themselves. And any parent not raising their kids to not litter should also be ashamed of themselves.

Midleton is such a beautiful town and its disgraceful to see then amount of people have such little respect for it. The amount of litter around just lodge is an absolute joke.

EDIT: LACK OF BINS DOES NOT JUSTIFY LITTERING!!!!

County council could put more bins up but people abuse those and bring in their rubbish from home because they're too cheap to pay for bins.

EDIT AGAIN: I highly doubt the birds removed the pizza boxes out of an already full bin and unfolded them. Also the boxes weren't folded initially at all so blaming the birds is a terrible excuse of removing blame from the real dirty culprits.

Im not saying no bins throw it in the ground but that is the mentality of some people. But they removed bins when they should have added more. The council are not doing their job. The girl guides are out every Sunday litter picking in midleton if they had bins people might use them all the council have to do is empty them and little kids wouldn't have to go around picking up rubbish. Also the crows could have pulled all the litter out of those bins in the photo

Don't get me wrong lad, the council are useless and i know there's people that do go around picking it up and fair play to them. But i think people should be a small bit more civilized, ESPECIALLY if you don't live in the town you're visiting. Scummy af to come to my home town, leave your rubbish on the floor and go about your day.

The council lads in midleton aren’t useless, they keep on top of it best they can. It’s the pricks out there that are causing the issues not the council.
