Fly Tipping

Recommended Posts

There was a thread a while back about someone who had had experience of a neighbour dumping their rubbish over the garden fence.

 

Anyhow,I can't find it.

 

So my daughter went to her new Uni house yesterday to meet up with the Landlords agent & sort a few things out, & they were horrified to see that a HUGE pile of rubbish had been dumped into the garden,most deliberately.

Some had just been tipped over the fence (clothes airers,handbags, traffic cones) but other things - bags of dirty nappies for one,had been obviously chucked with force. The trajectory means it has to be the next door neighbours.

The house has been empty for 6 weeks or so,so I think they saw it as an easy option.

 

They took photos of it all (the gardeners had been in the previous week to clear the garden) & reported it to the Landlord,who was really shocked. There had been some other rubbish in the garden when we went there a few weeks ago,but that had been blamed on the previous tenants & cleared away - however we are now not so sure that it was them.

 

It has made my daughter feel very uneasy about the house.

Makes you wonder what sort of revolting people would do something like this,doesn't it?

I know - it is quite worrying.

The sooner the girls move in & the house in occupied,the better- at least then they can keep an eye on things.

The landlord seems very on the ball & I am pretty certain he will be 'having a word' with the neighbours.

 

Should it also be reported officially to the authorities,does anyone know,& is that the Landlords or the tenants responsibility?

I know it's illegal to dump rubbish anywhere other than a designated site, and strictly speaking, as a member of the public, you would be expected to report it.

 

That said... the landlord is already aware, and I would just let him deal with it. Perhaps get your daughter to remind him that it needs dealing with (this, in a sense is reporting it to an authority)... then forget about it, unless it happens again. I guess it won't once the place is lived in.

They, or the landlord should report it. I don't know if you ever watched Filthy Rotten Scoundrels. There was a case like this where a neighbour was bunging the rubbish over the fence. I don't quite remember the outcome but I think she was prosecuted. I remember she moved house though.
