I agree that the flytipping at Tesco in Cowley, as reported in the Oxford Mail, is not a good idea, or a good sight for all to see.

But at least rubbish is being left at a location which is cleared each day – therefore saving other areas of fly tipping.

Perhaps retailers should once again have a long hard think about their packaging strategies, and the general public should stop being so lazy and recycle at home – or visit the correct facilities, such as council recycling centres.
