Jump To Comment: 1 2The local government should provide public bins, so that people walking home from the chipper or the shops can dispose of their bag or can away properly. Same goes for public bathing beaches.
That said, we've got to have a bit of cop on ourselves, and not be litter bugs just because the state is one. Community little collections along a local stream or at a local beach can be great fun. The local Co Co should provide the gloves, bin bags and collection thereof. However there's nothing wrong with local people taking out an hour or two per month to clean their local commons a little. Just the time it would take to watch a bunch of millionaires kicking a ball around (European football). Once a month. For, and with, their own community.
Most people I know who are involved in campaigns against the double tax bin charges are also involved in community stuff like that described above. So I don't mean to say how they should behave. When I see litter bugs of all ages dropping their wrappers, bags and cans here and there -- it gets up my fucking nose!
I totally agree with Michael. Once communities finally take back ownership of their areas in this way this will heighten the sense of community and collective responsibility. Like you said, it can be a fun way and we should really campaign our local county councils to provide the gear for these community initiatives. As a surfer, I know that surfers regularly organise beach clean ups in the same way and it gives something back to the environment and community as well as bringing people together in this increasingly individualised materialistic society.
