Does that mean the systems working(ish)?!
Only if people are aware that things could come back to bite them. Theres sufficient evidence above that many aren't

When I was about 13 a mate and I found a large carrier bag of pron...Ah, the good old days of byway bongo. Footpath filth. Lovingly dried out on in secret, before being used as a very high value trade at school. We need to bring it back, people! Think of it, kids today are all fwapping away on their iFwaps, looking at midget-goat-pron. Let's be honest, a glimpse of a bit of scut in a hedgerow is far better for them!
CF, Sounds as though we went to the same school

I would suspect apart from regular littering that most flytipping is by people paid to take people's rubbish away (tradesmen, skip hire co's)
Tradesmen dumping microwaves and old tyres?? Utter tosh!
Skip hire companies?? Erm, don't they charge a hefty sum for provision of a skip and subsequent disposal (including landfill tax). Wouldn't they get slammed if they dumped 4 tonnes of rubbish by the roadside? Do you ever see such quantities of waste in one spot? No!
How often do you see building waste at the side of the road? Almost never in my experience.
The people who charge to take your rubbish away are often of no fixed address and allegedly "travelling". I have a different name for these people, but using this is now deemed racist (which it is NOT). Nuff said!
It's easy enough to blame councils (well I grant you, many of them are useless), but the main issue is Brussels issuing directives pertaining to lanfill/recycling. The councils adhere to these because they are terrified of getting sued. Or maybe councils have nothing else to keep themselves occupied with.
Time we got out of the EU, or maybe our government should ignore the Brussels Europrat nonsense!

Yes they charge it, but there are (shady) operators who don't want to pay it out again. With most skip hire all you are really paying for is delivery of the skip, collection of the skip and the tax, unless you are able sort your waste into recyclable loads like timber or rubble, in which case pay for delivery and collection and nothing else.
I was on the hunt for a factory unit to hire last year, went to view a place in renfrewshire. Over the weekend the lock on the gates had been cut, when I turned up with the agent on the monday there were mountains of flytipped building and demolition waste. There must have been 40cu.yd skips being emptied being emptied there day and night.

I do love the way spongebob blames dumping on the EU and councils. Nice leap of logic there.

Here is a typical scene from my commute:-
This one ****** me off the most though. It is at Sandwood Bay in North-West Sutherland. A 4-mile walk from the nearest road and this is what is some campers have left waiting for you on your arrival.

I used to train in the Tidworth area and there was always lots of porn to be found..

The view from a bike is interesting.
Whilst touring in England the main thing you see / smell is dead rabbits in the road.
On the side of the road its all Red Bull cans, Fag packets and McDonalds packaging. Given that I never see any porn I deduce that people who drink Red Bull, smoke fags and litter McDonalds are indeed w**kers.

Mate of mine was riding along and saw a small perfectly arranged set of internal organs - lungs, heart, liver, stomach, guts, the lot. He stopped to look, puzzled.. then about 10 yards down the road was a rabbit with a very flat front half and a very large hole in its bum. Apparently car had run over the front end of the rabbit and blown its insides down the road.
I used to see loads of tapes.. now it's all CDs. How times change eh. Once found a pair of molgrips on the road. Also, I once broke the mounting for my lights whilst on a night road ride. I didn't have anything with which to fix them, so I trundled on holding the light in my hand until, only about a mile away, the god of roads provided me as I was sure it would. Piece of baler twine.

there is/was a junior sized raceing bike in the hedge on the climb up form the John Tompson in in South Derbyshire if anyone wants it.
porn, porn and more porn (derbyshire folk clearly wan*****/)

Mountainbikers are as bad as anyone, the jump spot was always a tip.
