According to councillors, the only way the bags could have reached the trees is by someone throwing them up in the air.
Councillor Alison Holmes told Derbyshire Live the offender ‘needs to be caught, prosecuted and made an example of’.‘Some of the bags get caught in the branches and those that don’t fall to the ground,’ she said. ‘It is totally disgusting that someone would choose to do this.
‘We’ve recently had two brand new larger floor standing bins installed just yards away to offer a convenient place for dog walkers to dispose of bags as it is a popular route for Mickleover residents and the new South Derbyshire housing.Dryer Sheets Pick up Dog Hair Like Crazy. Looking for a simple way to pick up some of that dog hair? Use dryer sheets. They pick up loose dog hair on fabric like magic. Just rub a dryer sheet over your couch or wherever else pet hair collects and watch as it clings right to it.
‘Clearly this person won’t use a bin in any case. Any information local residents living nearby can offer would be really appreciated.’
An action plan to track down the offender has been set in motion and concerned councillors have urged residents to play their part in busting the case.
Discussions have also been held with Derby City Council due to environmental worries and there are surveillance and enforcement options being explored. Meanwhile a clean up of the area near the Great Northern pub on Station Road has taken place, which one resident described as a ‘drain on council resources’ at a time when ‘money is tight’.

‘However, this is an extreme and vindictive case, involving one dog owner.
‘We’ll be carrying out a “pick up or pay up” campaign later this year across Mickleover with signage and patrols, but clearly this is particular location needs a more focused approach.’
Praising the authority for their work, local Adam McLoughlin wrote on Facebook: ‘This activity is disgusting and gives a bad name to all dog walkers even though most are very considerate and carry their doggy handbags until they find the nearest bin.Yummy! Dogs have about 1,700 taste buds. Humans have approximately 9,000 and cats have around 473.
‘There’s also a significant number of cast aside bags along the cycle track.’
Mary Innes also said: ‘I can’t believe that someone could be so inconsiderate.‘Let’s hope they are caught and given a large fine for the extra costs and resources they have caused.’
