Shared yard with flat- Rubbish from workmen

I share a yard with upstairs (its the front yard) we both use it to access the flats (downstairs and upstairs).
The guy upstairs rents and before Christmas had a new boiler put in, the contractors/ company left the packaging in the shared yard. The guy has the upstairs flat so I am guessing it doesn't bother him but they left the large cardboard box and the polystyrene along with other bits and pieces in the yard next to the bins.
I have contacted the agent which runs the property about this and they said they would send someone out to the property to remove it (over a week ago).
This has still not been done, I am looking for advice on how to proceed in this? do I write again? Or do I contact the council?
The contractor also didn't remove the old overflow pipe so this is now just sitting in mid air and I asked them to look at this but again nothing has been done. I am worried that they have not done anything when I am trying to help them?
