Illegal Dumping
Cotta
Posts: 3,667 Forumite
Hi All,
I live in a residential area that suffers from illegal dumping due partly to certain areas not being maintained by TNI/Council. Today a mattress has been dumped close by - is there anything that can be done about this?
Thanks

The council will still probably want to know about illegal dumping as it is them who usually end up having to clear it, small hidden motion detection cameras are usually the only way to catch the culprits whether or not that is something they want to do about it or not though is another thing altogether.Norn Iron Club member No 3530

Is it for Kultur? If so nothing can be done0

I asked my local elected representative if there was any way to catch the culprit who dumped the mattress but this was a bit of a silly question. The only solution offered was to maintain the area in question better so that it's no longer looked upon as a dumping ground.0

I'd expect the council to spring into action.0

If it's in a public space, eg on a road, verge, footpath or whatever then the council will pick it up. Obviously they need to be told it's there - a call to Environment Services to report it should do the trick.
If it happens to be on private land then it's not the council's problem, the landowner will be responsible for its removal.0 -

Haha, manic Friday and I was a bit peeved that this happened.qwert_yuiop wrote: »I think it was a joke. Mattress? Spring? Yea, not bad.
There's a blanket ban on this activity.
Back to the topic, it's on TNI land, the council have said they will lift it, however will any investigation happen?0 -
Of Course they won't Investigate It that would be too much like hard work
Have they lifted it yet Cotta?~We are all going to hell and guess who Is driving the bus~*Norn Iron club Member 294* (Hi, we’ve had to remove part of your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE Forum Team)0
