People who let their kids run up and down the street screaming and shouting from 9 in the morning to 9 at night while they sit in their back gardens drinking.

An anonymous leaflet campaign along the lines of "remember Madeline" will get that sorted.

How unbelievably difficult it is to get rid of old paint. The previous owners of my flat left about 20 half full tins of paint and hadn’t realised how much of a pain in the arse disposing of it is.

 
How do you dispose of paint tins?
It's only wet paint that can not be accepted in the waste, so dry it out by adding something absorbent like cat litter or sawdust then once completely dry the tins can go in your general waste bin at home.

Not sure if the above is from a local site to you, but I’ve had a look and it seems like you’re still supposed to take the dried out paint tins to a recycling centre.

That’s not the annoying bit though. I’ve got so many old paint cans that it will take about a tonne of sawdust and weeks to dry them all out fully.

Sounds like they realised exactly how much of a pain in the arse it is.

There's a few charities that will take them off your hands. Looked into it before but you'll have to do your own googling.

Put the tins in black bin bags and toss them in the landfill at the local dump FFS

Hide them in your wheely bins a few at a time.

I don’t even have a garden! They’re taking up a full cupboard in my flat!

You're looking at it the wrong way. You've been lucky enough to have been left loads of free paint. Get creative.

About 90% of it is fucking white as well, so even that’s out the window.

Think I’ll have to take Rugster’s scumbag advice and just get it stuck in landfill.

It's what some charities want, check it out.
