Dog poo increase is a problem everywhere. I see it in Wynyard and Billingham, noticed it in central Boro. bone idle buggers.
I've heard that, but I don't know if they started doing it. It's a good idea though.Weren't McDonalds going to start printing the car registrations on the bags so that they drivers could be fined for littering?
Just like the number plate recognition for littering at junctions I mentioned earlier.This may but totally unworkable, but if every cup and burger box had a QR code, that was scanned as it was packed, the packaging could be associated with the sale and discarded items identified by the purchaser's card details.packaging
The technology and equipment is already in the retailers stores.
It seems a good idea but wouldn't it cost to employ someone to check the QR code? Who would pick up the discarded items and where would they take them to to be scanned? And who would pay for all of this? I supposed it could come out of the fines that people would get for littering. But I suppose anything is worth a try because littering is just getting out of hand.This may but totally unworkable, but if every cup and burger box had a QR code, that was scanned as it was packed, the packaging could be associated with the sale and discarded items identified by the purchaser's card details.packaging

I think there are already enough good people picking litter up for nothing - a simple smart phone app could do the reporting.It seems a good idea but wouldn't it cost to employ someone to check the QR code?

Thanks Hap- I wasn't being awkward so I hope you don't think that. I never thought of smart phone apps- my idea of modern technology is coal based steam power and horse pulled carts!I think there are already enough good people picking litter up for nothing - a simple smart phone app could do the reporting.
It would cost almost nothing software aside.
not at all TrugThanks Hap- I wasn't being awkward so I hope you don't think that. I never thought of smart phone apps- my idea of modern technology is coal based steam power and horse pulled carts!
That would make a massive difference. The amount of McDonald's litter swamps any other.Weren't McDonalds going to start printing the car registrations on the bags so that they drivers could be fined for littering?
The more people talk about it and the more the people who do it see others out tidying up hopefully it might become socially unacceptable. I know it will never go away but in time with more positive people in the community the ones lacking respect may just think twiceIt’s all down to a selfish attitude. Keeping this piece of litter inconveniences me, I am going to make it better for myself by immediately dropping it. There’s no care for how it’ll impact anyone beyond themselves.
What is wrong with people, how difficult is it to put your rubbish back in the bag you brought it in and take home and put in your bin. People really are lazy and seriously lacking respect
