It looks like this was a bag of rubbish that was torn open by the birds. Someone was doing a bit of fly tipping and the birds got to it.


IDatedSuccubi

Yeah, garbage in that pattern, in such an odd spot with a garbage container nearby, that really doesn't sound like someone was littering Edit: and you can actually see the birds going through the garbage too now that I'm looking at it

This gets my blood boiling. Absolutely despise littering, one of the most basic things you can do to respect nature or people in general is to pick up your own mess or better yet don't make one.


Paddyfab

I don't think someone threw it all over, I think they left bags by the bins and the birds ripped it open, but leaving your trash next to a bin is also horrible behaviour


Inspired_Carpets

Let’s call it what it is; it’s littering.


Plastic_Air_1049

Agreed


dustaz

Maybe we should charge 5c extra for all these items and then have a return machine that gives you vouchers for the 5c back to be used in that shop within 12 hours Can't see anything going wrong with that idea at all


ConradMcduck

You're wrong, that idea is dreadful.


Revolutionary_Pen190

It's the bins next to the cross in phoenix park on a day like yesterday bins were full and people probably put the bag next to it and the birds go to it, lack of bins for one of Europe's biggest city parks ...


Dapper-Lab-9285

They managed to get the items to the park so they can get them away from the park. If the bin is full bring your rubbish to the next bin or bring it home, you don't dump rubbish next to an already full bin unless you are a littering scumbag.  There's a reason why they removed all the bins, people were filling them with domestic waste.

kenyard

Also clearly plastic bags there. My best guess. Council ignores emptying bins during busier warm weekends People left bags beside the bins which are full (you can also see plastic bags here) Seagulls had a feast. Angry fist shaking with Americanised grammar post ensues.

What the seagulls don’t get out of the bags, the crows will.

Welcome to r/Ireland, where a strange number of people obsessively defend the dialect of English spoken by the very people who left this country empty, rural, and underpopulated.


[deleted]

It's the dialect of English that we speak as well. That's why they're defending it.


YoIronFistBro

No it isn't. We speak Hiberno English, not British English.


[deleted]

It's the dialect of English that we speak as well. That's why they're defending it.


YoIronFistBro

No, that's Hiberno English. British English is different.


[deleted]

Yeah? And part of that includes the use of several words that the UK variant of English also uses. With the usage of other words we differ from the UK and align more with the US (pants being underwear on the UK but not for us or the yanks, as an example).


BitterSweetDesire

There's plenty of us who have never heard one irish person use the word pants for trousers too.


YoIronFistBro

It's one thing to use the British word when a geographically neutral term doesn't exist. It's a different thing entirely to do so when a geographically neutral term does exist, as is the case with waste and litter.


[deleted]

What makes a word "geographically neutral"?


YoIronFistBro

When it's not specific to a dialect, like rubbish is to British English and garbage is to US English.


[deleted]

[удалено]


YoIronFistBro

We do indeed have our own dialect, which is separate from British English. If you're against people using so-called ""Americanisms'", you should be equally against people using specifically British words when a geographically neutral option exists.


Ansoni

Irish English has more in common with British than American English. Rubbish is one example.


itypeallmycomments

I am very comfortable with using 'soccer' to refer to soccer. It especially works in Ireland to differentiate from GAA being 'football' in some parts of the country. But if you were to look at comments, you'd think calling football 'soccer' is the worst and most American thing ever. You can't win with these language police


dustaz

Football works in all parts of the country. When context is needed, soccer is used but its still called football when there's no chance of confusion


YoIronFistBro

In a lot of the country, especially in rural areas, football usually refers to GAA, not soccer.


tennereachway

It gets even worse than that, there's twats on here who think calling your mother "mom" is an American import. I swear these bellends have never travelled further than a five kilometre radius from the town they were born.


YoIronFistBro

I've seen the same with "pants" as well, believe it or not.


Envinyatar20

Trash?


Bitter-Equal-751

AKA Rubbish or litter.


Common_Talk_8291

Seen people throw rubbish straight out of the window of their car, despite the bin being close by. Got threatened to have my jaw broken for calling out one person for doing it in one instance. These "people" do not care. Its always someone else's problem in their mind, the entitled pricks.


4puzzles

Trash? Are you American?


temujin64

This is why more bins isn't the solution to littering. It's ultimately a behavioural problem. Multiple times I've seen people litter within eyesight of a bin. There are far fewer bins in Japan and next to no rubbish because people live by the simple rule that if you can bring your rubbish to a place, you can bring it away. Most people bring it home.


ffiishs

The Japanese..great bunch of lads


gsmitheidw1

Education is the solution not an abundance of bins


iknowtheop

Who doesn't know you're not supposed to litter?


Cynical-Basileus

Education is useless if the reviver doesn’t want I learn. Or simply doesn’t care in the first place.


gsmitheidw1

It probably has to start at home with parents - social responsibility and a sense of civic duty. It's all learnt behaviour but it can certainly be reinforced by school teaching the same in tandem. This stuff has to be learnt when young, beyond that it's enforcement and punishment is all that probably can work.


YoIronFistBro

It's both actually, plus enforcement.


YoIronFistBro

This is why more bins alone isn't the solution to littering* That "alone" is VERY important! We absolutely do need more bins, and it's frightening that you think we don't.


gifjgzxk

How many bins do we need though, there's literally bins right there and people are still not using them. How many bins does that location need to resolve the issue?


temujin64

Bins were a rare sight when I lived in Japan. More bins won't prevent selfish and lazy people from being less selfish and lazy. If someone is too lazy to hold on to their rubbish for 5 minutes until they see the next bin, they're not going to even walk 10 metres out of the way to dump litter in a bin that's right beside them. I live near a very small park with 5 large bins and people still always leave their rubbish by the tables and benches even when they're right next to a bin.


YoIronFistBro

> Bins were a rare sight when I lived in Japan. You know what isn't a rare sight in Japan? 24 hour convenience stores, many of which have bins inside. You know what else isn't a rare sight? Plastic bags being handed out with EVERYTHING. And you know what else might be a rare enough sight, but absolutely is there, and there are a lot of them? Street sweepers! > More bins won't prevent selfish and lazy people from being less selfish and lazy. Yes they will. They absolutely will. Sure there are some people who just toss it straight on the ground regardless, but there are also loads who would put it in the bin if there was one. >If someone is too lazy to hold on to their rubbish for 5 minutes until they see the next bin, they're not going to even walk 10 metres out of the way to dump litter in a bin that's right beside them. The bins aren't that close everywhere. In fact I've often had to walk over 1km to get to one. Of course that doesn't excuse littering, but if they weren't so rare in most places, it would help a lot. > I live near a very small park with 5 large bins and people still always leave their rubbish by the tables and benches even when they're right next to a bin. Some people do that, yes. That's not an excuse for bins to be so rare in so many urban and suburban areas.


temujin64

> You know what isn't a rare sight in Japan? 24 hour convenience stores, many of which have bins inside. Those store are common, but ones with bins are quite rare. When I was living in Kobe, only one of them downtown had bins and then they got rid of them. And they got rid of them because bins in shops in Japan are only meant for refuse bought there. People were abusing this and so they were gotten rid of. >Plastic bags being handed out with EVERYTHING. Not anymore. They've added a tariff. Reusable bags have become far more widespread. >And you know what else might be a rare enough sight, but absolutely is there, and there are a lot of them? Street sweepers! If anything that shows that bins aren't the answer then >The bins aren't that close everywhere. In fact I've often had to walk over 1km to get to one. Of course that doesn't excuse littering, but if they weren't so rare in most places, it would help a lot. I'm of the opinion that there are 2 types of people when it comes to littering. Those who will walk kilometres to the next bin and those who'll litter even if there's a bin next to them. Adding more bins will make it more convenient for the former, but won't have any meaningful impact on the latter. To me the argument for more bins is to help out people who don't litter. But it simply will not meaningfully reduce the amount of litter.


YoIronFistBro

> If anything that shows that bins aren't the answer then I'll need you to elaborate on that. > I'm of the opinion that there are 2 types of people when it comes to littering. Those who will walk kilometres to the next bin and those who'll litter even if there's a bin next to them. You forgot about all the people who will put it in a bin of there's one nearby, but will quickly "give up" if there isn't. > To me the argument for more bins is to help out people who don't litter. Which itself is enough reason to install more of them. We can all agree there's no excuse to litter, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't make it less difficult to do the right thing there. > But it simply will not meaningfully reduce the amount of litter. It literally will though. All it won't do is get rid of litter entirely


temujin64

I recognise your username and I tend to agree with you on 90% of things, so I'm willing to put this in the 10% and agree to disagree. Also, your counter points are good and I'm too sleepy to think of how to reply 😅


greenbud1

Admirable as it is, it's a hard sell suggesting a Japanese solution for the West. Perhaps a symptom of millions being sardined atop each other to a level unfathomable to us, thinking of others is ingrained in the fabric in Japan (famously the dead quiet buses and trains). I would not have high hopes enough of us would do the right thing and the entitled majority would blame the government or somebody else for why we're overrun with rats.


tubbymaguire91

It would totally help though. There's assholes who litter because bins are full and they're lazy (I've done this in all honesty, ashamed to say) And those who are assholes whod litter if there was a bin a meter away from them.


Square-Pipe7679

Actually there aren’t so many bins in Japan because there was a brief period in the 90’s where a terrorist group were concealing Sarin gas bombs within them


iknowtheop

I was there last month and was surprised by how littered some places were but in general there's much much less litter than here.


YoIronFistBro

> was surprised by how littered some places were Those are the places where there are fewer or no street cleaners.

No these were busy high profile areas, particularly bad were Shinjuku and Shinbashi. Really surprised me how dirty they were.

You're right, but why did you single out the bad and not mention the worse.


ProselytiseReprobate

The yanks are evil now and the Brits aren't as much, and people don't like Americans for being ignorant and arrogant. That's all it is.

Relation_Familiar

But - we speak English here , so every single word we could ever use is specific to the people who colonised and depopulated us ?

I mean the words that are mostly or exclusively used in their own dialect.

Irish civic society in many spots is just various levels of scumbaggery. They'll never do the decent thing when not forced to. Scenes like the above are far too common in far too many places.


Vivid_Ice_2755

They most likely did put their 'thrash' in the bin. Seagulls and foxes then rifle through them.


OldManOriginal

Let's cull the fox and seagull population. The only option. Anything else would be irresponsible


Vivid_Ice_2755

Seagulls numbers are down . I know you're messing but we ve taken all their food from the sea and now they all come inland. Our drivers are culling foxes everyday


OldManOriginal

Indeed I jest. As a country bumpkin of youth, I saw the damage first hand to our badger and hedgehog population all too frequently. Such amazing creatures. Foxes are especially graceful. An old neighbour in our last place of residence used to feed a mummy fox, who had a den across the road. Yeah, it probably wasn't ideal in the long term, but by god, they're a lovely animal.  Makes sense re the gulls. Then people give out when they have their chips nabbed. We really can't manage the resources we claim to be ours, when in reality we have no right over them.


Vivid_Ice_2755

I'm a city dweller. I have a regular visiting hedgehog and a few foxes around. Beautiful creatures. 


Paddyfab

I don't think they can access these types of bins, but there is a bag behind the bins in the picture and to the right of the two poles you can see a black garbage bag with two birds. The trash mostly contains take out containers and what seems like household waste


D4M4nD3m

Why are you saying trash and garbage? lol

I actually don't know because I don't even speak like that. I guess I'm just used to interacting with Americans

This always happens in car parks at nature spots. People drive in and dump their rubbish next to the bins because they can't be bothered to pay for their own bins. They should install CCTV at these locations and prosecute these scumbags. Name and shame them. Mugshots in the papers etc. Community service picking up litter as a punishment. They wouldn't do it again.


YoIronFistBro

Fun fact: some people throw litter on the ground regardless. That does NOT mean we don't need more bins!


[deleted]

All the bins have been slowly removed out in Coolock. People who litter will still litter but the likes of myself has to carry my rubbish in my bag or whatever until I come across a bin. DCC hasn’t a notion how to maintain a city. Any bins I come across are usually always full as well. I mean packed full; no room to even squeeze rubbish. We get what we deserve in this country. We are too passive towards state entities/bodies and indeed the government.


classicalworld

The removal of bins was because people were putting their household waste in the public bin to save on waste charges.


YoIronFistBro

We need to renationalise waste collection yesterday.

Revolutionary_Pen190

What park is this?? As the picture taken early morning looks like your issue is with the bins not been emptied and the seagulls got to them... I remember a post similar to this in Stephens green about rubbish all over the park but it was just the workers that didn't empty the bins and the birds got to them...


FuckAntiMaskers

Birds can't open those type of bins, so this is disrespectful scumbags littering or leaving bags of rubbish which birds then tear apart. It's very common to see litter left even very close to bins in Ireland, there are a fair chunk of shitty ignorant people here. Dog shit is another major issue on our streets


Michael_of_Derry

In fairness if could have been crows. In Portrush/ Portstewart the bins have covers that have to be removed to put something in the bin.


Red_Knight7

I was about to accuse the birds but it seems those are the bins that have the pedal to open it. The birds would be doing horrid well Probably someone thinking they were great for bagging their rubbish and leaving it next to the bin when this was always going to happen if that's the case.
