If you saw someone flytipping (i.e. dumping a bunch of waste out in the countryside), would you do anything about it?

I'd sooner clean it up myself than call the cops. Something violent has to be happening for me to think the risk of violence the police pose is outweighed by the crime.

You bet! GTFO of here… We have a huge ass landfill for that. It probably took them longer to drive to the countryside that it would have taken to go to the landfill. 💆🏻‍♀️

I use my phone to document this and report it to authorities. No mercy. This country has free disposal plants where recycling and disposal are managed to reduce environmental impact.

I’d report them to the police. I HATE litter with a passion, and coming across a pile of crap in the woods that someone’s dumped is so bloody depressing.

I think I'd record it on my phone without them seeing and report it to the police. Try to get their license plate number if the phone didn't get it. F\cking assholes. Of course, I'm not really sure it matters whether the trash gets dumped in an official Earth-raping area or an unofficial one; there's that.

Not getting involved, unless I know they dumped something toxic/dangerous, then I would anonymously report its existence so it doesn't get into the groundwater or nobody's animal or whatever tries to eat it
