neb: Ran into a great example of council mismanagement of this on the weekend, they've been removing rubbish bins from parks and public spaces which has led to the totally predictable appearance of piles of rubbish where the bins used to be. The claim is that they're only removing the lesser-used bins based on data they have, except that on the very busy Devonport waterfront where the bins are not lesser-used they've also removed most of them, leading to overflowing bins for the few that remain.

 

This outcome was so obvious from the moment the idea went out of their mouths.

It's unbelievable how people can be so stupid.
