Recycling, Better than Fly-Tipping and Dumping. Dorset and Corfu

Behind the Promenade, Dorset resort

Not sure about the second-hand mattresses....

The situation in Corfu some years ago

"For just a metre from the roadside and hidden from view only by the slope, is a rubbish dump. Rotting soiled mattresses. The carcasses of discarded fridges, their harmful CFC gases long since leaked into the blue skies above. Old car tyres and batteries. Building rubble. An ancient oven. Rusting metal sunbeds and their cushions. Discarded hosepipes. Paint tins, a giant metal drum, corroding tins... and assorted plastic that will take 1,000 years to biodegrade. All dumped without compunction; a stain upon paradise..." Paul Whyles
