What about the fly-tippers themselves?

For those outside the UK, “fly-tipping” means the much more clearly phrased “illegal dumping”.

It is not similar to cow-tipping at all.

Edit: this concept of destroying cars as punishment should really catch on more.

There is something deeply wrong with people who litter.

Premeditated littering as well

I mean, this is so over the top, but I kinda love it as an idea.

Also this for anyone who parks across several spaces in a carpark.

Why crush them and not sell them? The proceeds could pay for the clean up.
