PLEASE can someone tell me why it is acceptable each year for students to litter their doorways and pavements with rubbish, unwanted goods and furniture?

Local residents who pay their council taxes cannot do this and expect the dustbin men to clear and take their litter.

We have to recycle or take things to the tip.

All these students who live in houses have access to cars and it should no longer be acceptable to leave such a mess.

It should be made clear at the beginning of the year it’s their responsibility to clear their own rubbish, otherwise it is very much one rule of one and another rule for others.
