The ABC is claiming a small 10% drop in the amount of crap being illegally dumped on charities:

Over the past few years several charities have removed collection bins because of the cost of rubbish disposal.
Salvation Army ACT general manager Neville Bennett says better warning signs and security cameras have paid off.
