Rubbish dumped in garden - why should I pay?!

Hello, bit of an odd one this, looking for some advice.
Someone has dumped some bulky items in the front garden I share with three other flats - it's a large wooden palette and a smashed up wooden table. I don't have a car otherwise I'd just take them to the tip, and my council only has a service for collecting household goods, furniture etc not general large waste items.
So, I'd have to pay for a company to come and take them away.
I really don't want to have to do this.
I have a suspicion the stuff came from some new neighbours next door - soon after they moved in they started leaving large items in their garden. There are currently two large fridge-freezers standing there which have already attracted some graffiti. Anything I can do to get those moved to? They really do make the street look a mess.
Any advice appreciated!

Put a sign on, "free fire wood", it will soon be gone.
Also pallets are popular with allotment gardeners, again free sign.
And have a quite word with your neighbours, maybe suggesting you have installed CCTV as a result of the unknown transgressors, that should get the message across.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

Tonight, push everything onto the pavement/road then call the council to report fly-tipping on a public road0 -
Instead of "Free" a sign saying "Firewood £5 a bundle" will see the rubbish disappear even more quickly.cyclonebri1 wrote: »Put a sign on, "free fire wood", it will soon be gone.......
