Nobody likes stinky waste and rubbish outside their door… We spent a day with Wandsworth Council’s enforcement officers finding out more about the problem and what we can do to help them help us…

Continental Landscapes, who have this Contract, constantly leave Bags & Bags of waste on the street corners for Days at a time. This creates their own form of Flytipping, which the council seem happy to overlook. Complaints to the Council are ignored. Other residents see this and seem to feel it is then OK to add their own rubbish to this horrendous mess. Council say that you could be fined 'Thousands' for Flytipping, yet they pay Millions to someone to create exactly that !!! Please make a Video of that…
Thanks for your comment – if you have some specific examples (time, location, photos?) please email editor@southwestlondon.tv and we'll be sure to pass these on to our council contacts and see what they say…

What a nice lady..
80% fly tippers are pakistani
96.3% of statistics are made up on the spot to justify prejudice and bigoted opinions.
Why company not get higher tax and take trade rubish free?Tidy TIp for all !!! And no fly-tipping
Why should tax payers pay for traders' wastewith higher tax?Let them pay for it.Stupid idea.
I could never ever understand why British sanitation workers don't pick up bulky waste as part of their routine collections. Try charging extra for basic things such as waste removal and your city / country will turn into a dump.
My thoughts exactly.
I was told by a council that it's because they've a good idea how much routine rubbish there is and allocate bin wagons accordingly. Unexpected items like mattresses and white goods throw these calculations out of the window, and some may not go through the compacting mechanism on the wagon.My council used to hold "Big Rubbish Days" whereby larger items could be left on the kerbside and they were collected with dropside tippers instead of regular bin wagons, the Pikeys usually come round a couple of hours before the Council and remove all the scrap metal!
Notice all that talk but they won't show you an image of the people doing it.
Exactly … this is the best proof of their incompetence and ineptitude.

Denise who?
Multi cultural societies will never ever work !! London is one massive slum anyway so makes no difference who is dumping crap everywhere
Surely council tax should cover collections for bulky waste.
I live in Ottawa, Canada and we have garbage collection every second week. They pick up mattresses, couches and chairs. I think there would be less dumping if the garbage taxes covered items like this. How much money is spent on cleaning up illegal dumping and paying investigators?
Why is this so prevalent in the UK? Is there no trash service or dumpsters? I don’t get it. (I’m in the US)
@Roger Barton Plasterboard is now a hazardous material?
@blackrabbit212 Yup, it was on the list of prohibited materials for the last skip I hired, and I've heard that Dumpit sites won't accept it.

@Roger Barton Well, that makes a great deal of sense. Let's put a 'hazardous' material in everybody's house…
For the record: @blackrabbit212 is willing to wallow in a putrid pile of waste plasterboard in a fly tip to make his political point, so everyone else should follow suit.
@Rollo Maughfling What a stupid comment. And for the record, you know nothing about me.
It's a joke why are we so dirty keep where you live clean not only looks bad disease is rampant litter on the motorways is also disgusting put it in the bin please stay safe all
Appalling behaviour. I hope that the fly tippers were caught & severely punished.
Take photas
Are you taking the piss? Did you not see the entire video segment you're commenting about?
@Rollo Maughfling Lol, what? Yes i did watch the video, not my fault these people can't talk properly.
From an empty can or a bit of paper to a massive fly tip. If you toss rubbish on the floor your a tosser
Janeane is so nice! What a pleasant lady!
Denis waterman 'I can be so good for you'
what we need is to make littering a capital crime. off with their heads……thinking it would slow the trouble down real quick.
