The porn mags were discovered in these bins

Porn mags thrown away in recycling bins next to a village hall ended up strewn around the area.

The parish council in Eastling, near Faversham, is urging people not to dispose of adult material in the bins after a passing villager was offended by seeing dumped magazines.

It is not known if someone rifling through the bins pulled the magazines out and deliberately scattered them near the hall or if the bins became full and were lifted open by the wind, causing the magazines to be blown around.

Jill Seaman, the parish clerk for Eastling Parish Council, said she is aware adult publications turned up in the recycling bins last month.

She said: "But we don't necessarily know whether someone has been throwing the magazines about or if the wind has blown them around.

"We know that the bins can get very full and then the lids can get blown open.

"This issue was brought up at a meeting of the parish council and let's face it this probably isn't the place where you would want to dispose of adult magazines.

"I think people should dispose of them more carefully if they have them as we wouldn't want children finding them. Someone who saw them has been offended by the sight."

The village hall is paid a tonnage rate for paper and card waste, which is left in the bins and collected.

However, it remains a mystery as to how the pornography ended up in the bins.

Mrs Seaman added: "It is a mystery as to how it got there and who's been looking at this stuff, it could have been anyone and doesn't necessarily have to be someone in the village - it could have been just driving past who put them in there."
