Such a waste.

My neighbour is away at the moment and I noticed her apple tree has shed a lot of fruit. I picked up a few but I know that she will just let them rot.
We used to make chutney and tarts to freeze but young people don't seem to notice the wastage or know how to preserve food.It annoys me.

I've scrumped apples from a neighbour's tree, he just leaves them to rot. If you can reach, then pick them, you could always tell her and offer her an apple pie or crumble when she gets back from holiday.

I’d “scrump” them. I loathe food wastage!

I’d ask if I could have some some please.

If owners of trees don’t want to use the fruit rather than it go to waste they should leave it at the front of the property with a note for people to help yourself. Another option would be to donate to a charity or soup kitchen who I’m sure would be most grateful for it.
