A couple of months ago, I drove past one of our projects and saw a pile of rubbish, which turned out to be a huge boxful of dirty nappies and used tampons. I cleaned it up and put it in the community waste bin. Probably not the correct hazmat procedure ….. but.
This year’s ‘clean up Australia’ day will be done without me …….. I’m over it.

Disheartening is an understatement. I mow these lawns fortnightly, I spend just as much time cleaning up other peoples rubbish than I do cutting the bloody grass. The things I have found discarded over with little regard for the person who ultimately does the right thing is absolutely pathetic and disgusting.
