Discovered the or a culprit of rubbish being dumped

Place the rubbish bag back in their garden at night. You never know, maybe one of those cats and foxes will rip the bag open causing the rubbish to be spread all over their garden Karma is good like that.

Either catch him on video, or dump it back in his garden at night, maybe with a large hole in the bag as well...

I second what others have said, heft the rubbish into his garden at night. I've done this when sure of the culprit. Doesn't necessarily change anything, but it'll make you feel better!

It quite likely doesnt change anything Dave.

I had one like it as a neighbour in my last house. We shared some back alley space. I would find his rubbish in "my bit" and even thrown in my dustbin. I never did work out why it didnt seem to strike him that every time that happened his rubbish would find itself back in "his bit" or thrown over his garden wall (ie it didnt mysteriously get disposed of by me).

In his case I think it was down to being thick.

I would loved to throw the rubbish over his fence. A problem, involving his neighbour, and a good friend of his partner. Know this from someone who used to live the other side.

She hardly sleeps at night and there are lights permanently on downstairs.

I will phone the council this morning, report the fly tipping as its illegal dumping of rubbish. About 10 days ago, I saw an envelope on the floor with the culprits' address on. I wish I kept it or took a photo of it.

So if the council want to go through the fly tipped rubbish, chances are that there would be things like the above inside with no attempt to hide the identity..

Glad to say, one of mine is on the way out of here.

Another one is gradually learning how to predict the arrival of the dustcart, but it's a slow process. She appears dull, as indeed are the others, who've let me read their bank statements, HMRC correspondence and "Dear Sir, Unless...." letters over the years.

I won't go into the holiday home. Let's just say it's heavy on Kleenex and rubber goods...Sorry, TMI!

I never cease to be surprised at just how dull some neighbours can be - quite apart from rubbish. What I notice sometimes is astonishing - theft, vandalism, Black Economy work going on. There is one that "behaves themselves":rotfl:

As you are in shared ownership you are also a tenant of the HA, in social housing: Presumably that means you think you "have attitude problems"?

Sounds more like you have an attitude problem over people in social housing. I know many perfectly decent, honourable, upstanding tenants in social housing.

You've never met an owner-occupier with an attitude problem then, eh?

Why would you not expect a response from the HA, your landlord? Have you emailed them and/or written to them? Followed their complaints procedure as, usually, outlined on their website? Contacted their chief executive? If I fail to get a response from any organisation I write to the Chief exec offering £5 to an agreed charity if I get any response of any nature within 5 days: Works every time.

Do you have "history" in your dealings with your landlord, the HA.

Do let us know your views on others housed at the state's expense, buy-to-let landlords, travellers & those who reside in park homes, please?

So having no useful contribution to make, you decided to scold the OP instead, for holding views you don't agree with. You felt great doing that, didn't you? That's them told.

Thanks to your helpful input, I'm sure the OP has now seen the error of his / her ways and, suitably chastened, will take no further exception to fly-tipping riffraff.

Meanwhile, OP, as others have said, toss the rubbish back and if you can, try to film the anti-social element doing it another time so you can report him. I'm not sure whether fly-tipping is criminal or civil or how it works on private versus public land,etc, but some offence is being committed.

If I cannot get a response from the HA, which is easily rectified if the tenant gets the larger bin the council provides, what else can I do?

Set one of those roaming cats or foxes on 'em

I personally don't like the 'throw it back in the garden' option. It's ridiculously passive/aggressive and could cause significant problems. If the OP gets seen doing this, then they are the ones fly tipping. Two wrongs don't make a right. If the neighbour sees them they'll end up with a whole heap of trouble - especially if said neighbours denies dumping the rubbish and it can't be proved it was them.


If it were me, I would contact the HA formally in writing. I'd advise that I'd seen this person dumping the rubbish more than once & that I'd seen an envelope with their name and address on it. Copy the letter to the correct department of the LA as it is fly tipping. I would then write anonymously to the offender advising that I'd seen them dumping their rubbish and that I'd reported it.

I don't believe it is wrong to return someone's property to them, provided one knows it's theirs.
