Rubbish

We appear to have reach new heights in our area with the dumping of rubbish, more of it, more often.  This big pile has been there for days, and it's obvious where it came from.  

The council apparently regards it as "too hard" to stop these situations from arising, such as by issuing a fine.   Eventually they come around and take it away (as the person who put it there desires).  I wonder if the delay in doing anything about this pile is a conscious effort to shame the obvious source?
