Unethical, illegal or stupid?

I don't know if it's illegal to dump your rubbish in someone else's skip which is in the street. It's definitely annoying when you pay £100 to hire one and in the morning you find everyone else's crap in there.

We have Litter Wardens in Glasgow now and the other day I walked out my office and immediately saw one of the emptying his pockets into an skip sitting on the road. And there was a normal bin within 20 feet of him.

The skip isn't there for public use. It's outside a building site. Can I fine him myself?

Is it unethical for a Litter Warden to dump some of his own rubbish into a skip in the street? Probably. Is it illegal? I don't know.

Is it a bit stupid? Almost definitely.
