Living on north side with a few months and I’ve noticed some of the houses off Dorset street, specifically the ones living on the basement level, come up at night and dump their rubbish on the side of the road and then in the morning the council comes along and collects it (to the point where I’ve noticed the council has signs up saying Tuesday collection only). I was genuinely gobsmacked when I moved here first how someone could litter their own front doorstep. Tonight a man came up from one of those houses and threw a fairly substantial pile of rubbish on the side of the street in broad daylight (7pm but took the photo later as the pile had gotten larger) in front of myself and another pedestrian, we both looked at him then the rubbish and back at him he just shrugged at us and walked down his steps. Just wondering how common this is or am I just a naive culchie not realising what the big smoke is like?

Big smoke is different, it’s all very official “unofficial” or vice versa, could you blame them?
Be glad that we don’t have a meth zombie town.
It’s not common around other parts of Dublin. That particular street has always been sketchy at times
The houses on Dorset Street don’t have space to store bins in gardens/inside so they have an exemption from the council to leave bags on bin collection days, some people take it too far.
By morning the seagulls get to it and it causes wreck

Ah good ole Mountjoy st, the seagulls have been tearing into the bags on that corner for years.
You let your cows shit on the roads, culchie 🤣
Since 2013, I have not been to Ireland and Dublin in particular, although I used to come every year for 7 years. the changes I read about here frighten me. is everything so bad?
