I'm not sure what drives people to be so selfish as to just dump their rubbish in the road.

That being said, someone else had already reported it to the council by the time I got home 😺

Fly tippers face punishment of clearing up rubbish https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9dn770n1deo
This would be awesome, especially if throw in more community service on top. But, could this really happen in the real world?

“Don’t waste our future”: Pupils and celebrity artist hit back at fly-tippers with bold mural in Neath Port Talbot

The striking new mural, splashed across a corrugated wall near Ysgol Melin, features piercing green eyes and a bilingual warning: “No fly tipping — don’t waste our future.” It’s bold, it’s angry, and it’s built from the ideas of Year 5 pupils who’ve had enough of rubbish dumped in their streets.

Nathan Wyburn, known for creating portraits out of Marmite, glitter and even burnt toast — and for appearing on Britain’s Got Talent — led the project after a hands-on workshop with the children and Neath Port Talbot Council. The kids didn’t just paint — they helped design the whole thing, from the message to the mood.

Discarded furniture and waste were piled in front of the mural during the unveiling, hammering home the point: this is what fly-tipping looks like, and this is what it does to communities.

Cllr Scott Jones, Cabinet Member for Streetscene, said:

“We’re incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made in Neath Port Talbot. This year alone we achieved a 26% reduction in fly-tipping incidents – one of the largest decreases across all Welsh local authorities.”

Benjamin Meredith-Davies from Fly-tipping Action Wales added:

“This mural is more than artwork — it’s a call to action. These kids care deeply about their community, and they’ve used art to spark real conversations about waste and respect.”

The mural is part of a wider push to clean up Wales and crack down on illegal dumping. But it’s also a reminder that the next generation isn’t waiting quietly — they’re picking up paint rollers and making noise.

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."

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

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.
