This may sound like a crazy idea but if the logs are serious enough to make decent firewood put an auction on ebay titled "free firewood , help yourself".

I think you will be pleasantly suprised how much if it quickly disappears

Freecycle comes to mind.

Could take a while to shift it that way.

Better still, don't say it's free, say £5 a sack and leave an honesty box.

The next morning someone will have nicked all the wood and the honesty box.

Nothing to clean up

If rubbish is left on private land it is the landowners problem.
If you witnessed your neighbour leaving waste and are willing to give a witness statement (maybe even attend court) then speak to your council again and ask if they would consider prosecution (which costs the ratepayers, comes out of the departments budget)
So in answer to your question, no he may (possibly) not get away with it.

If there's really tons of the stuff, firewood is fetching around £100/ton, so put an ad on Gumtree, Freecycle, or wherever, and someone with a chain saw and a wood burner will soon be along to shift the larger stuff.

....and a variation on that tune - being you dispose of his wood, but tell him you're going to do so and give him "first refusal". Maybe he won't be so keen to dispose of some of his property on your land if he realises he could be making a profit from it.:cool:

I have a vehicle access track at the back of my house that gives me access to my garage. Each houseowner owns the patch of this track behind their house and has a council covenant to keep it clear. For the past few years it has been overgrown as nobody has wanted to use it (we are the only house that has a garage now).

So there is a covenant, but nobody has ever bothered about it before - the situation has been tacitly accepted.

The issue is that a man from the neighbouring street has been dumping garden waste on this land. He has cut a whole in the fence and has dumped literally tons of branches, whole tree logs, stumps. Tons.

I suspect there might be just a tad of exaggeration there.

But all the smaller stuff can easily be burnt, just leaving the larger stuff. And, as has been said, that'll freecycle very easily as firewood.

Im new to this so appreciate any help and advice.

6 months ago got to a new property where majority of neighbours are leaving their rubbish just by the road, so you end up having pile of bags on the collcetion day. Around 3 weeks ago some bags were not collected due to mix stuff and just left there (mix of all neighbours) Last week have gone for a holiday and day before departure went to recycling point to recycle whatever I had gathered just to ensure that we dont have anything left. Aftera week holiday came bavk and pile of thos bags that have been left by the road were tipped just in the front of our gate.

This was like 5 am as the late flight back took all bags and put it back in the old drop point by the road, same day someone must have move those further down the field and same day received an penalty charge under my address but for a different name/surname. Believe there must be a post that we have or neghbours received by mistake.

Whether this was a good idea my wife open the letter that was addressed under mr Ian (no one lives here with this name) and find out that this penalty was issued for a fly tipping.

Any idea whether we should worry about having this issued under oir address but under wrong name?
Should be reply or ignore ?

Any help would be much appreciated

This won't go away, so reply to the council saying you are not the person named and that no one of that name lives at your address.


Don't go into detail or start trying to explain anything at this stage.


If you get another letter from the council, come back here and people will help you deal with it, but start your own thread. This one is over a year old

Take the letter and proof or your name and address to the council and show them that it is not you.
