Fined for chucking a apple into a hedge

Stupid Peelers and their quotas to fill. They should get to the core of the problem and not crumble to the bureaucrats.
 
One apple core might be ok in some peoples minds, but if everyone were to start chucking random pieces of half eaten fruit into peoples gardens?

Anyone who has an apple tree in their garden knows how disgusting rotting fruit on the ground can be.
 
It starts with apples but then he'll move on to tangerines, then watermelons, then coconuts and before you know it he's killing babies.

It's a well known progression.

Doesn't matter where it was thrown. It's rubbish and should be disposed of in a bin. There's a real problem with people littering in England and I see no problem with a blanket rule against it. It's laziness and ignorance that makes someone think it's okay to dump rubbish. Even if it is a single apple.

This attitude is all very well IF every single street in Britain had a public litter bin on it.

Councils can't have it both ways, you can't go around fining people for dropping litter whilst not providing a method of disposing of it. Where I live the only public litter bins are in the City Centre, in council run parks and occasionally outside a parade of shops but you can walk for miles without seeing one.

It was in a hedge. Hardly covering the lawn with it.

And we've got fruit in our garden. You just push it to one side and let it decompose. It's good for the soil.

Or, and this may be a radical idea, put your litter in your pocket 'til you get to one or get home? Just don't buy/open anything too messy for pockets when you know you cant dispose of the remains.

Sure, but where does it stop, thats the question...

Push it to one side? I imagine you have a small tree or something. and thats not really the point. Why should the homeowner have to clean his garden because some lazy muncher couldn't be bothered to hold his apple core until he got to a bin?

and while it may be good for the soil, its not good for the grass.
