I live in a nice area where people generally look after the place, it is clean and tidy. I have an alleyway that runs down the side of my house that connects my street to the busier road that is to the rear of my garden. This alleyway also accesses a small community woodland / kids play park. Over the past few weeks someone has been persistently dumping rubbish down the alleyway at the junction of the woodland. So far so easy, just need to catch them and wee in their bombers. But, I am sure that this person has a serious drink problem. The rubbish usually consists of empty bottles of cheap red wine or vodka. I collected 4 empties on Sunday afternoon and when I went round to walk the dog at 8pm there was another bottle there, plus toothpaste and chewing gum wrappers. Over the course of the past fortnight I reckon between me and my neighbour we have collected 30 bottles.
Quoted the Original Post as it seemed to shift halfway down the thread.
Anyway, after a few months off, the mystery dumper has returned! Bags of rubbish left yesterday, mainly fag packets and bottles of cheap wine.
Anyway, the change is that they slipped up, one of the bags contained address information, I now know which neighbour it is (up the street, but I do not know them)
So, now I know the culprit, what to do?
1. Deposit it back on their lawn
2. Report to council / police
3. Sympathetic note through door suggesting ways off helping potential alochol issues
4. Wee, bombers etc.
Hive mind thoughts please..
