High prices, lack of services blamed for illegal dumps

The Advertiser: High prices, lack of services blamed for illegal dumps :

"Vivien Coats, from Morphett Vale, says she does not blame people who dump rubbish illegally. 'I really get tired of people labelling others lazy and saying they don't care about their environment when the local dump charges so much,'"

My last council area had at least one hard rubbish collection a year. Mt current council has one upon request but then there is a list of things they weill not take. Dump areas not only charge fees, they assume you have a way to get the rubbish down there or that you are fit enoughto organise the rubbish in this way. Clearly indicated, regular hard rubbish collections are far easier and superior in terms of getting rubbish removed and dumped. The Goodwill bins are often rally points because people need a "spot" for rubbish. Annoying as it is, they are at least putting it in one place which might give the councils a clue!
