Authorities hunting for 'disgusting grub' throwing dirty nappies out of their window
- Replies 13
We’ve all had our share of bad neighbours over the years. Maybe they’re too rowdy, or they’re rude to others. Whatever the case may be, there’s nothing quite as frustrating as living next to people who don’t seem to care about anyone but themselves.
Sadly, this is the case for residents living in this luxury skyscraper who have vowed to catch this ‘mystery nappy bandit’.
Furious neighbours are on a mission to hunt down a suspected litterer who’s blatantly tossing dirty nappies on the streets of Brisbane’s 90-storey Skytower on Margaret Street, the sixth tallest residential building in the country.
The building opened in 2019 and stands at 269.6 metres. It also boasts 1,138 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and hosts Australia’s highest infinity-edge pool on the 89th floor.
In a video posted to the popular social media site, Reddit, several yellow plastic bags filled with dirty nappies can be seen sitting on roofs and sections of the street that surround the skyscraper.

The Reddit user (who goes by the handle Chonox), told reporters that it was ‘shocking’ to see rubbish flying down from expensive, high-end apartments.
‘My colleague who sits by the window where this was filmed has mentioned first-hand they’ve seen bags flying down,’ Chonox said.
The Reddit user also shared that only one person is suspected as the culprit, as all the bags were of the same size and colour, and suggested they lived on a higher floor of the building given the trajectory. That’s some stellar deduction skills!
‘The windows from the apartment can only be cracked open slightly so they must just be dropping them down.’
‘Pending which way the wind blows, it appears the distance they land apart from one another varies quite a bit.’
Kids Club Childcare, located at the base of Skytower, revealed that the daycare has not been affected – despite people claiming that the delay of their opening was due to the incident.
‘We have been made aware of this recurring incident; however, our business has had no issues regarding this specific case,’ a spokesperson from the daycare revealed.
Chonox said that the culprit had been doing this for ‘a while’ now, but there was no way to track the person, despite police and building management being made aware of the situation.
Many social media users quickly agreed with Chonox, who said that the nappy tosser should be ‘named, shamed, convicted then evicted’.
‘It’s likely other residents know who the perpetrators are, send a message and let them know they’re not welcome,’ one commented.
‘Gross. Imagine walking down the street and then being hit by a bag of sh**,’ added another.
‘They must have money living there. Set up a camera recording 24/7, and work out which apartment they’re in. Show them the video and blackmail them,’ a third offered.
Some said they were worried about the bags potentially hurting or even killing an innocent pedestrian below.
Chonox replied: ‘Absolutely could hit a pedestrian. But also, what sort of person chooses this over walking 30s to the common area garbage chute.’
‘Well, they’ll have to do what the hotels do at schoolies - lock the balconies. If they can’t be trusted with open windows,’ one user wrote.
