Walking in Holborn, London yesterday and the streets were dirty, bin bags everywhere and overall just uncleanliness was obvious.

Why and what has caused this? Previously it was not as unclean.

:chudsmu#g: Yeah, why is that?

Watch as the Eternal Labourite squirms


Council cutbacks and also people not taking responsibility for their own rubbish.

I would say that dipsosable consumerism has contriubted to it.

:really:

Japan is famous for being clean and also has excessive plastic packaging on everything

It's all about culture and teaching.

how close /r/uk is to Saying It

People don't care about the environment and expect others to clean up after them. Too lazy to take their rubbish home.

This is it. Can complain about immigrants and police all you want, the simple fact is that there's too many peepeeheads who don't care about public spaces and infrastructure.

:marseyvenn#2: where did all this peepeehead behaviour suddenly come from since 2021 :marseyhmm:

Councils skint

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Camden council spending nearly 2 BILLION pounds on pension obligations :marseyclueless:

The true answers will be deleted lol

What's the true answer?

Cut backs lack of investment,

"CUTBACKS could be here", he thought. "I hate LACK OF INVESTMENT."

I've, personally, noticed the increase start during the "war on terror" when public bins were removed from a lot of places, for fear an IED would be hidden in one in a train station for example.

Haven't seen that one in a while

People are eating a lot more packaged convenience food and snacks than they used to.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1740749352--yEfaC2C69pXA.webp

Oh yeah I remember seeing that somewhere

Bins were removed due to the troubles then more after 9/11 and 7/7.

!deathtomicks as usual the perfidious hibernian :marseyhibernian: is to blame :marseyraging:

Tories.

This was utterly fricking astounding. Might be the literal first time.

It's a culture on not giving a shit, and not valuing tidiness.

Garbage collection is free for all residents where I live, yet most houses in predominantly Black communities have giant trash heaps in their backyard. Ex:

Reported by:

There are over 500,000 people in Halifax, so I figured you could use a headstart.

I assure you though, that I don't live in a shithole like North Preston.....

The city here gave trash cans to every house in the city so that the garbage trucks could use some sort of automation to collect the garbage quicker. Everyone has these giant green cans sitting outside your house and it's like $20 a month to get a second one if you have a big family or something.

At the same time, they also banned burning your garbage in the city limits.

Well in the ghetto, we ended up with lots of green cans empty blowing around the streets and the fire department won't come issue tickets for burning trash since it's too racist… also then they probably wouldn't be able to fight actual fires since they would be issuing tickets 24/7

But my green garbage can at my business? People inexplicably stop and dump their garbage in my can instead of just using theirs… I don't understand black people at all

Yeah you can slice it however you want but it comes down to giving a shit about your community. I once lived in an "up and coming" neighborhood (i.e. rent's doubling from all the upcoming yuppies) and there was hardly any darn litter in the street. Before that I lived in a more melanin-dense area. Trash. Everywhere. There were bins every 200 feet. It basically took making the conscious decision to shit up your neighborhood to get to that state.
