If I can see these in the shallows, I can only assume there are more in the deeper part of the river. Do these people not understand that there are cameras all along the bridge?

Batteries. Think about it.
Some people are c@nts, others like the ones throwing scooters off the bridge lack the warmth and depth to even be called that.
The sort of human waste that does this shit doesn’t care about cameras.
I think you spelt “little pricks” wrong.
Probably not ideal.. I mean there could be electric eels in there and I assume they need recharging at some point
About 10 bad.
They’re doing us a service. The batteries in them charge the electric eels way better than car batteries ever could.
The steel frame is marginal impact on a chemical sense.
The batteries have a number of toxic materials, as well as metals / trace elements of nickel, manganese, cobalt, lithium and other trace elements.
Many of these, especially some solvents are omega nasty and have a bioaccumulation effect – meaning they can never break down through biological processes, and animals / biological processes higher up the food end up ingesting huge volumes of these chemicals. The compounding affect if means that if your fish’s food’s food’s food ingested some, then all in the chain will be affected getting more exponential the higher aggregate steps achieved.
Away from the batteries, capacitors (especially electrolytic) and other electronic components are no good.
TL;DR
It’s very bad and fucky to the environment – but not going to cause a whole of ecosystem impact with such small scales
Lets just say it isn’t good.
Might accidentally hit the croc.
Its pretty bad for the scooters
I button lithium battery in the soil will contaminate 1 cubic meter of soil for the next 500 years. Lithium is ready to life. Now do the maths on a scooter and you quickly see the potential risk to life, human and otherwise. This is why ALL batteries and cells should be taken to a recycling point and under NO circumstances should be put in ANY bin at home.
It’s their migration route.
I notice that Lime etc are not collecting them from under the Riverside Expressway either. Surely council could get someone to collect them and then bill the scooter companies for recovery?
What is scary is these are just the ones we can see. Imagine how many are disappearing into the mud
I’m just glad they aren’t blocking the path
The lime app now says every now and then if you don’t return helmet possible 50dorrar charge. They’re newer bikes where helmet locks back in better. Still this woke me to the helmets being everywhere too. Now all I see is green helmets not just the obvious wasteful lime scooter discarded in an odd spot
Not so good for the scooter company. Do they provide the scooter collectors with wetsuits?
The river can have a few e-scooters as a treat.
Citrus contents off the charts
River probably doesnt have a credit card..
Yeah it’s not good for the river but considering it’s only short term and these scooter companies come to retrieve them very quickly
I don’t know why people throw them in the river personally I would prefer it if we could throw the idiots in the river that leave them sitting in the middle of a path or disabled car parks blocking people’s way instead of putting them to the side out of people’s way
On a lighter note I think we should be able to take pictures of them send them to a website and whoever parked in a stupid spot gets charged for someone to come out and move it to a safe spot through the council
Can these people be hunted down ? Like do they make a payment to use it?
Cameras that nobody cares about?
Hopefully enough of them so the companies are losing too much money and shut up shop. Vain hope, but at least then the environmental damage would have a positive outcome
Not any worse than the tonnes of chemical waste dumped in there in the 90’s
Not as bad as it is for the scooter
Do you not sacrifice a like scooter to Poseidon to keep XXXX beer flowing?Â
Electric eels are extra spicy and blue rings glow .
Versus everything else dumped in there upstream?
