Report neighbour for fly tipping

The bloke 3 doors away has form for this.

There's an old coffee table outside his front door and round the corner, where the bins are and which is a parking area, he's dumped an old bed carcass with springs sticking out, mattress and bed frame reared up against the dustbin so there's no access to the actual dustbin and it's precarious and could fall over.

Like I said he's got form for it. It's as if he thinks aliens will come and take them away or something and it makes it look like Shameless.

ynbu. I am so fed up of selfish / cheap / gross people.
can you move the mattress to his front garden and drop the council website / phone number thru his front door?

Absolutely. When I’m PM, I will have CCTV cameras catching flytippers and they will be made to litter pick until they have paid back the costs of clearing away their rubbish three times over. Filthy.

Definitely report him. We have some hideous neighbours in the road behind who share the alley with our street. Last week they filled all the bins up with their beer bottles and other crap which meant we couldn't put our rubbish out and the bin men wouldn't empty them as they were contaminated with the wrong stuff. Once we reported the council sent out a special truck and also knew that it wasn't us. They also have form for parking old furniture against our wall.

Is there any evidence it’s him. I doubt the council will do anything but remove it without evidence

I'm not doing my back in moving his stuff! @Happyher it's absolutely him.

I don’t disbelieve you but the council will need evidence to issue a penalty. Did any other fed up neighbours see him do it or have cctv?

Yes someone saw him but no CCTV. He ordered a delivery of a new bed and the guys who brought it helped him get the old one out of the house

Knock on his door and tell him you know it's his stuff that's been fly tipped and you'll give him a week to dispose of properly before you report him to the Council?

I've returned stuff to neighbours gardens when I've spotted things have moved from their garden to somewhere else. Once I had to retrieve it 3 times before they took the hint.

I went on the council website and you can report anonymously so I did that. In the message box I wrote that he's actually got what he wanted, ie the rubbish taken away, and that it's not fair. I hope they'll speak to him.

I previously provided CCTV of fly-tipping where I lived to the Council. They did nothing.

Yanbu.
I have some awful neigbours who always do it. I've been reporting them for five years now. There doesn't appear to be any chance of them being fined but it was rather satisfying the day they sent the community police officer round to tell them to stop dumping shopping trollies. I was WFH that day and cheering from the window.

I'd politely ask him when he's expecting the collection - because obviously he's booked for the council to come and remove it. Point out its in the way and ask him to expedite the collection.

It makes him aware there's an issue and that there's a way to deal with it properly.

AnneElliott · 15/09/2025 13:11

Shame there’s nothing on video op. My brother used to film the cars that fly tipped at his block of flats and the council did send a £400 fine to each vehicle owner where the index number was visible on the film. Maybe invest in a ring doorbell?

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/09/2025 13:13

Does he have a way of disposing of things, a car?
