First read of this thread but very interesting as a stream borders my garden with farmland 'tother side - mainly sheep fortunately. However, am very aware of the builders junk that get rolled down in a downpour and have little doubt there is other nasties from time to time. I keep trying to clean up the rubble problem and cart carloads up to the recycling tip but more rolls down. Loads of glass, broken china etc - nearly got a complete tea-set and a bike or two bit by bit. Found this 4-5 years ago buried so that only a corner showed - god knows how long it had been there - and so it goes on. My main concern though is that the local kids paddle in it, accessing it from the public footpath that borders my garden, and risk cuts from the masses of broken glass. I like seeing the kids do what I did some 70 years ago and strongly resent this fly tipping stuff - so I will keep at it. Pity is that I lifted out some forty or more bricks, roof tiles and other junk earlier this year, put it to one side until I could get round to barrowing it away and, bugger me, one of the kids who paddles more than any other had thrown the bloody lot back in the stream. Hopeless.
