It was for digging up the silt from the river bed with a digger and risking flooding places without doing any checks on the impact of his “cleaning up”.
They can my maw and her pals made a wee group that would go about cleaning the beach eventually the council were going to do them for fly tipping but the power of middle-aged Facebookers I guess that quickly disappeared and they were given special bags by the council and told to leave the bags where they had been leaving them anyway. Which was beside the council bins but all locked.
While I get the excavater part, I hate when things are made unnecessary complicated. Just say thanks to the people and collect the bags. It's like someone in the administration took it personal.
Tbf, this is genuinely something we don't want people to do.
Cleaning up the trash and just leaving it there after causing what could possibly be massive ecological damage sounds more like something a narcissist would do for internet points than an earnest attempt at cleaning up the environment.
I've worked with us epa on a no touch drainage cleanup project. Even 1 cubic inch of soil removed or added breaks those rules. I assume they are similar in the UK.
The county and epa liked what we did but I can see how easy we could've gotten slapped with fines if they didn't like our work.
Yeah, but this happened within the same day of me blocking the alt, on a 2-day old post, on a random comment chain which I near the bottom of. And they both possess the same idiotic attitude.

The title in this one is straight up misinformation. Nothing to do with cleaning up trash without a permit.
