"Dumped in the street" is this week's picture subject. Dealing with the huge volume of rubbish that we all now produce is a big problem that looks like getting even worse. Landfill sites are running out of space and many people are running out of patience with local councils who seem to be imposing higher charges for collecting waste less frequently. It's hardly surprising that more and more stuff is just being dumped in public places. The pictures in this set were all taken in Brighton, but they could easily have come from anywhere in Britain, town or countryside. We're literally in a mess, and it's entirely of our own making. If you are interested in the general subject of environmental blight, you may like to see the earlier weekly sets on street rubbish and wrecked cars.
