I hope whoever is doing this is caught, and also breathalysed and possibly encouraged to seek appropriate treatment.
This really doesn't look like a business dumping empty #wine bottles as they would surely be different brands, but someone who is likely drinking far too much - maybe #flytipping the #wine bottles out of shame to hide their #alcohol habit from others (or else they would have put them in the #recycling container - which is allowed unlike down South where you can't put #glass in the bin)
What's worrying is they are very likely to have driven a motor vehicle to transport them..

River close to engulfing waste mountain, MP warns
Marcus White and Jamie Morris, November 17, 2025
"A river is rising and threatening to engulf a mountain of fly-tipped waste in a field, an MP has warned.
"After heavy rain over the weekend, the River Cherwell is now lapping against the 'obscene' 150m (490ft) long pile near Kidlington in Oxfordshire, Calum Miller told the House of Commons.
"The Liberal Democrat MP for Bicester and Woodstock said the situation had become 'much more urgent' and asked the government to intervene.
"Environment Minister Emma Hardy said the Environment Agency was investigating and had acted to prevent further access to the site.
"Fly-tippers are thought to have spent weeks building up the mound in a field between the river and the A34.
"The Oxfordshire MP said it had reached a height of up to 12m (39ft).
"Asking a Urgent Question in the House of Commons, he said the river level had risen by about 4ft (1.2m) in recent days and some of the waste was now afloat.
"He said: 'This incident highlights that organised criminal gangs are carefully planning operations to dump #IndustrialWaste in the countryside.'
" 'They earn millions of pounds in illegal earnings without a thought for the health of people or animals, nor the damage to soil, water or air. And I am deeply concerned that the #EnvironmentAgency (#EA) is not equipped to deal with this unfolding #EnvironmentalDisaster.'
"Mr Miller said the government should order a clean-up by issuing a directive to the EA, similar to the one given for #HoadesWood in Kent in 2024.
"He also urged ministers to review the government's response to waste crime and allow the National Crime Agency to investigate the most serious cases."

'Footage showed the scale of the "environmental catastrophe" that is up to 150m (490ft) long and 6m (20ft) high. The enormous pile has appeared in a field next to the River Cherwell near Kidlington.'

I needed two jubilee clips so I went to my local car parts place, which is now closed on Sundays.
So I went to Wickes, which only sells small ones.
So I went on a dog walk and, in the undergrowth next to a reservoir, amongst some fly-tipped cannabis grow-op detritus, I found two beautiful stainless steel jubilee clips of exactly the right size.
I get so much good stuff from grow-op fly tipping, I might set up an official tipping area at the top of the drive for them.

This behaviour makes 0 sense - a middle aged woman in East #London got #fined £1000 for #flytipping in her own street! She was given a warning, a chance to remove the #rubbish (a small amount which would easily fit in recycling containers and normal rubbish collection) *and* the Council will collect some bigger stuff for free, yet decided to be stubborn and ended up in Court

“These companies don’t get paid unless they issue fines, and the more fines they issue the more money they make. People employed on these terms are not going to be impartial or act in a ‘professional and proportionate’ manner.”
Private enforcement companies issuing #fines for people giving stuff away outside their homes - neighbourhood #Freecycle being treated as #Flytipping

#flytipping is really not a nice thing to do at all. I recall that it has even blocked streets and commuters can't get out of their own neighbourhoods the next morning, or take their children to school.
Pleased this person has been fined. Hopefully it will be a warning to others.

Fly tipping along the #Clyde. Pardon my language in the vid. I am fuming about this s***! (And yes, I have reported it.)

#flytipping is a very serious matter, punishable by a fine of up to £50,000 or 12 months imprisonment if convicted in a Magistrates' Court. The offence can also attract an unlimited fine and up to 5 years in prison.
But Rishi wants to go one better and stick two points on your licence
(Dead cats should also be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way)

And, finally.
The last photo from the #CommunityWoodland group work yesterday. Apart from the main woodland we also own this path and the rough/waste* ground on the right. The path got cleared yesterday.
* no ground is "waste" but this has been used as a dumping ground / fly tipping area for decades. There's numerous layers of garden waste and other wood and building waste.

#FlyTipping is a constant problem in my hometown, in the county of Essex, UK.
Someone left so much #trash overnight nobody could get their cars out of the street to take their children to school or for themselves to get to work.
