Lessons in putting litter where it belongs

When these guys saw litter louts treating the environment like a trash can, they knew exactly what to do — they ‘recycled’ the garbage right back at the perplexed perpetrators.

Excuse me, I think you dropped something. Have it back.

As a street sweeper is diligently going about their task of picking up litter, the hidden occupant of a luxury sedan throws some trash from the window of the vehicle. 

The litter lout continues tossing trash from the car as a stranger approaches. Brief words are exchanged between the stranger and the sweeper, and suddenly the stranger takes charge of the full dustpan and empties it’s contents through the vehicle’s window onto the lap of the hidden occupant, before striding off on his way.

We’ll leave it up to you to decide if it’s a setup or not, but the second video really does look authentic. Scroll down to catch that one.

Russian taxi driver leaves littering passenger in the dust

In another litter-related incident, this extraordinary video purports to show the moment a Russian taxi driver turned eco-warrior throws a littering passenger out of his cab.

Footage recorded by the dash cam of a car travelling behind the taxi captured the extraordinary encounter.

The video – which The Sun Online has been able to independently verify – shows the passenger in the cab toss a bottle out of the window while they sit in traffic near St. Petersburg, Russia.

Then the driver immediately gets out and stomps round to the passenger side giving an apologetic wave to the car behind him.

He is then seen picking up the bottle from the side of the road, before opening the door to the passenger seat.

The driver then grabs his fare by the neck and trousers and flings him out of the cab and into the dirt at the side of the road.

As the stunned litterer tries to comprehend the situation, the cabbie gets back in the BMW and does a sharp U-turn, leaving his passenger for dust.

The man looks on in bafflement as his ride races off into the distance.
