need to vent, some lazy, ignorant, scummy bas***d has dumped a load of used tyres of various sizes (some huge) down the lane to my parents house where I keep Willow. They dumped a load on Tues night blocking the lane, I had to move several to be able to get home. Then tonight between 8.30pm and 9.20pm they g*t has been back and dumped a load more, blocking the lane again. Had to get my Dad to help me move them this time, some are proper lorry tyres and weigh a tonne. Can't believe some people are so ignorant, lazy and inconsiderate. This is right by a little nature reserve!
It'll only be a matter of time until the local kids decide to come and set fire to some of them.
Council have been informed but who knows how long it'll take before someone comes and shifts them. Oh it makes me so ANGRY!

I reckon my Dad'll be on watch at around 9pm for the next few nights, seems to be around that time. He reckons it is a local garage as he saw a man in dirty overalls about a week ago nosing around, probably scouting out where he could flytip. We will certainly be reporting to the police if we get any chance of a vehicle reg etc!

Some fly tipping is good - i once had someone fly tip a load of stuff outside my yard gate - blocking it (bar stewards!!) a tv, cupboards and some other junk, however the cupboards were in such good nick i have been using them since - one is my tea cupboard at the stables and the other my dad uses for some of his snake equipment in his reptile house!!!
Anyway though, fly tipping is actually bloody awful!! I cant bear the irresponsibility, especially when there is usually a tip somewhere nearby, but someone just cant be bothered - as for blocking a road......grr!
ps am not a pikey for using dumped cupboards - just resourceful!!hehe

Someone once fly tipped some black sacks of rubbish IN MY GARDEN (next to a main road). I opened the sacks and searched through until I found something indicating where they came from. I found bank statements for an individual, a pay statement and a customer list with contact numbers. I phoned up the employer and asked him if he wanted me to contact his customers and tell them where I had found their details. He was really worried and very very sorry and furious at the employee. I told him I would leave the bags out and they better be removed tomorrow or I was going to the police. They were gone.
Not much help to you I'm afraid but I would tell the council that you have already seen children trying to set fire to the tyres and you are worried there will be an accident. Then they are more likely to get out quick as they might they be liable if they fail to act.
What is it with some people though, was with (horse-owning) friend at a horse show last week and she just threw her crisp bag into some bushes at the showground when she was finished. Grotty!

yeh litter dropping does my head in, its just soooo rude! On my road mine is the only garden with a drive, so I get all the local kids rubbish blowing into my garden ( and I suspect half the little s*ds drop it over the wall as well), it infuriates me. We have had problems with flytippers down the lane before, and one individual dumped twice and was stupid enough to also leave incriminating documents. The council were good and were on track to prosecute to the highest extreme that they could to set an example. Unfortunately with the tyres there is nothing but tyres, so no way to find the culprit, unless we catch them at it.  |

This really makes me mad too, I live on a narrow single track lane and someone had dumped a bright blue three piece suite in a field entrance! If they can be bothered to drive the stuff there why don't they just take it to the dump? Sometimes it's rubbish collectors wanting to avoid the dumping fees, other times pikeys, other times people who just can't be bothered to go to the dump. I've seen so much of it, where I used to live practically all the surrounding country lanes had rubbish in them somewhere and many of the bridlepaths were permanently littered with burned out cars. Makes me so angry!!!!!! |

Agree flytipping is disguisting but have you tried to leave anything at a tip. The three piece would probably have to be done a sq ft at a time and back sure you go in disguise. The tips round here take hardly anything and only in small quantities. Letters to the paper have said this problem will get much worse but it is a government directive. Have had three lots of tyres on our lane this year!!! We tried to take some stuff and knowing it wouldn't get into the residential tip took it to the commercial, they wanted £75 a ton, minimum one ton. We have probably less than a quarter.

i agree i hate flytippers
we use to live on a farm and people were always dumping rubbish on the lane
but on the other side we live in a village with a tip just up the road but because this is in west yorkshire and we live in south we can,t use it and because we drive a pick-up we have to ring it n to book it and go to a tip 10 miles away it is council gone mad and if you get some jobsworth at the tip he will not allow a pickup in because it is classed as commercial

I guess if you went far enough, you could probably collect enough to furnish a whole house. Not that you'd probably want to!!! I wish it could be taken back to whoever dumped it, with a few added extra's (e.g if dumped on farm/equestrian land, part of the muck heap could be sent along too!
