I get home and the rubbish hadn't been there that long so I sort thru it and lo and behold there in the bag is an Auckland to ChCh Air NZ seat ticket with Mr K.... 's name on... BINGO got ya ya bastard. I photograph all the rubbish and airline ticket and advise DOC... a few days later I get a reply, "oh we dont have the time to chase this up" , WTF !!!!

fish and game ranger also has warrent and can issue fine for littering,it goes through COUNCIL so try that avenue next time... the council can issue a 5 figure fine....pity they dont do so more often

as for campervans...if we as a country werent so stingy..we would have toilet stop spots every 50kms along the road and have big skip bins there too..cameras on skips and fly tipping of domestic crap like TVs fine the crap out of folks..... would be full time job for 15-20 people to look after the waste and keep loos clean.
the biggest issue for those on the road is finding somewhere to legally/morally/ethically put rubbish when traveling along....
septic tank dumping spots are around but often not well sign posted....having used portaloo camping with family I know where most local ones are.
