There were three garbage bags full of rubbish and a large pile of stubbies, bubblie bottles, wine bottles and a heap of cardboard wine casks. All empty of course.

After examining this mess, I went home and returned with my yellow bin. It was an eyesore and a health hazard. Several of the bottles had been smashed, leaving broken glass. Another neighbour came along to assist me. 

There is a small bin on site but it had not been used. I couldn’t determine if this was dumped there or drunk there. It was also reported that some noisy people had been “riding wheelie bins” down the street. Strange things amuse strange minds.

I have reported this matter to the garbage collectors so they will now be aware of this potential risk to their workers at the handling facility.

I am just trying to make people aware of what goes on once the sun goes down. It must have been one hell of a night out.
