People on social media have expressed extreme anger over the panic-buyers who are throwing excessive eatables they hoarded because of the lockdown.
A surplus amount of good food is being wasted as demonstrated by the photos of containers filled with unconsumed fruit, vegetables, and bread.
Before the announcement of lockdown in the UK, panic-stricken citizens started stockpiling goods in their homes.
And after the due date of usage of unconsumed bread loaves, bananas, and chicken products passed, piles of them were seen in the waste bins in Derby and other areas.
In Bury, Manchester, containers were seen stacked with packets of pasta and unopened canned food.
To slam the citizens who emptied the racks of long-lasting meals in the supermarkets without thinking about how much they could consume, people are sharing images on social media.
Recently, photos posted by the Executive Director of Operations at Bury Council, Donna Ball, became the platform where netizens expressed their anger over the wasteful utilization.
The pictures were captioned: “The madness continues, if you are throwing perfectly good food in the bin that could support your food banks then give your head a bloody wobble!
“Binmen daily seeing good food thrown in black bins. This had bags of pasta underneath also.”
Social media user Maggie Kufeldt replied: “Goodness – who are these people? My blood is boiling!”
User Col Barlow commented: “Ok why would anyone throw away unopened tins of food, there’s over half a dozen in view.”
Another distressed member of the community suggested: “Should name and shame them! It’s disgraceful! They could feed a poor family who haven’t got the money! It angers me so much!”
Another person angrily asked what’s “wrong with people in this country?”
Ajit Singh Atwal, Liberal Democrat Councillor, was also annoyed at the situation as he shared photographs of dumpsters overflowing with food items.
He wrote: “To all the people in this great city of ours in Derby, if you have gone out and panic bought like a lot of you have and stacked up your houses with unnecessary items you don’t normally buy or you have bought in more food than you need, then you need to take a good look at yourself.”
Another offended user said: “Absolutely disgusting! Wasteful hoarding pigs! Those bins should have wheeled around to the needy at the very least.”
Replaced!
