We can do something

Santa · Guru

Seriously! confuse

If you're not happy with having filth dobbed in, chances are you're a contributing sloth also.

JeffRae · Guru

Anyone can report litterers, best if you have evidence, well done Grunnygypsy.

Santa · Guru

I/we look for the good in people, we don't let the odd negative consume us, time for a little toughen up I suspect.

As far as being a "contributing sloth" your words, we display a leave no trace sticker and abide by the rules, do you? wink

Perhaps if they were piddling on the ground you would need to take a bucket and get a soil sample and send it off for analysis.

Britz are interested in making money, do you really think Britz are going to do anything about it?

Hi Grubby, Good on you for taking the trouble and I hope something is done about it. Maybe they could issue a warning in their list of rules which might deter some of them. You can only try.
Unfortunately the ones I encountered at Head of Bight recently took off before anyone discovered their doings, otherwise they would've been in trouble with other campers. One other lady who was there was also going to keep a lookout for them. I never dreamt my garden trowel (thrown in at the last minute) would be needed to clean up someone else's mess.

Yes....it's better to do something rather than just complain about it. I hear it so often....everyone complaining about backpackers leaving mess, so the point of my post was just to let people know there is something that can be done and that the company took a serious and dim view of it. Those particular ones were relocating a vehicle for them, so he was far from happy that their company name was associated with the problem.
The NT didn't have a litter reporter scheme in place when I first got there. They do now and I used it the other day.

As for having a leave no trace sticker Santa....I reckon you'd just foul the air around you with your dribbling diatribe.

Hi.

I've always carried a folding "ex army ha Ha" Small bladed spade.

Used myself at times. but when I see anybody "dumping", or afterwards.
I always say Hey.
Try this.

Most look sheepish and actually do.

One that didn't. I shovelled it up and dropped it on his bonnet.
Sorta. Had to clean it up then.

I was bigger than him anyway.

Santa, I'm not sure what you said to deserve the nasty comments. Have some of your posts disappeared? I agree about piddling. If you can't piddle on the ground then we live in a very sorry place. I believe urine is quite sterile when it leaves the body or all those kids told to wee on a stinging nettle sting should probably be dead.

I can't understand why Santa was called a Sloth either.
