Unfortunately if it’s not on your land and on the street it is technically fly tipping. You will be amazed how many people do fly tip when literally a few metres from the council facility. Crazy
Why not the municipality with the help of Social services take care of these items instead fining people. They have the means and personal to take care of it.
Sorry for commenting on UK issues, I am a Lebanese we are having a similar issue
Just outed some furniture, salvation army collected for free. Win win situation.
I'm not nasty and I get ignored aswell professor 😭🏴✌️
Do we want our streets turning into open market places full of peoples bric-a-brac? If you have a piece of furniture offer it to a charity such as the Salvation Army who will take the item and recycle it. I recently had a small sofa which was beyond recycling the council came and took away, yes there was a small fee but councils have been stripped of finances for years by repeated Tory austerity it was taken away at the time and date booked with no fuss.
Encouraging more waste seems rather silly, prosecuting means that furniture will inevitably end it's life cycle leaving some people to just buy new instead causing more trees to be felled.
Councils pay lip service to green credentials whilst collectively operating the most company cars of any UK business jamming up our roads whilst they think of every other way to get the rest of us off the roads. Bus lanes cause heavier traffic and engines running for longer whilst a bus lane gets very light use and sits unoccupied most of the time.
I live in a council tower block and I have found some lovely bits and pieces if the entrance that I still use after many years. This just seems very petty of her local council.
Round about our area, this is a great way to get rid of stuff for free.
Not the first time I've put something on the garden side of my fence which is knackered with a for sale sign on it and it simply disappears😂
On the verges. It is fly tipping. She should have been jailed !
These people can contact the refuse dept and ask them to take it away. But these antisocials donrt want to pay the £5.
Shadow blocking refers I think to the practice of parking your car outside someone elses house so they cant use that space. Again antisocials they need locking up for a few days. We need tougher ASBOs and clamp down on those that have no regard for the environment in your neughbourhood.
My neighbour had a old wardrobe to get rid of so I broke it down and recycled as boards for my loft would hate to think people who their rates getting penalised.ps really glad to hear your on the mend 🦫
`The person` needs to assume responsibility for recycling and waste disposal. It's ALL their fault. Not the councils fault, this time…
"…used to squabble amongst yourselves". I hadn't realised that was the point of the comments! Sorry,Prof, I'll try to do better. Seriously, though,its good to hear that you're feeling better and see that you survived your A&E ordeal.
I went through a truly horrible time in my life many years ago in which I lost everything – home, money, the whole works. I finally got a home again and I furnished it almost entirely from wandering around the neighbourhood and picking up things people had left out.
I was incredibly grateful for the kindness of human beings who would give me things for free so I could survive.
Years later I have a nice home in a nice neighbourhood and I now look at stuff left out on the streets as fly-tipping.
I think I'm a hypocrite, Prof Tim 😞
I think it's a kind thing to do. Someone might not be able to afford to buy it.
Keep Britain tidy. You take your stuff to your local recycle centr, or pay to have your items remove by the councel. A fair fine would be 1000 pounds for dropping a lolly stick outside of your curtilage. Perhaps I'm being a bit tough, but a lot of people in the UK are happy to ruin our great countryside, or believe someone else will clean up after them. When I'd walk my dog in the park a Lady would pick up rubbish that others had thrown away!
I live in Spain where the local council have recycle bins located at strategic points in a street they are normally meant for household refuse but quite a lot of residents dump their furniture and garden waste
near these bins.The council eventually take them away but the local Moroccan community take away items that are recyclable before the council get hold of it.We find this very useful to the community
I've acquired a few good bits and pieces over the years including a large old wooden army trunk which, stripped down and polished, is still alive and well as a TV stand at my daughter's house in Manchester. My youngest daughter lived in San Francisco for a couple of years. She furnished her room with items she found on the street, including a double bed with a new mattress still in its plastic wrapping. If I've something to get rid of, I tend either to put it on Freecycle or ask the local British Heart Foundation shop to collect it. I live two floors up without a lift and have dodgy knees, so can't carry stuff downstairs myself any more.

Professor Tim, We all should donate things that we don't need, but leaving them on the street is not a good idea. There are several organizations here in America that pick up furniture for free.
Junkies are basicly garbage could you put one in a greenbin they did recycle in the film soylent green
Good to see you tim 😊
Was it sitting outside her house on her property or outside the boundaries of her property, if outside the boundaries then she would fined if the local authority chose to, there used to be organisations like Freecycle that would let you advertise free stuff, other than using a group like that is just rubbish that the person doesn't dispose of themselves, in fact most local tips have free or greatly reduced section for reusable goods, pavements are for walking and streets are for driving.
For furniture and certain other items that are in a reusable condition then local charities often do a free collection service, no real need to dump stuff on the street
We wouldn't want the lack of facts to get in the way of a good story? So this lady left it out for four days, that is verging on fly tipping even if unintended? Surely that is what local Facebook Groups are for? People try to give away all sorts of rubbish on our local one. Is it possible a neighbour complained to the Council as its difficult to imagine how they knew. I don't think Councils prowl around the streets unless they are alerted to an issue.
Some fella just bobs around where I live , and picks up dexterious that people lob around, out of cars, schoolkids etc . I chat with him sometimes. Cans, bottles etc . Sorry Professor there is bins, they don't give a flying…. I think the businesses should fund disposal.
it go's on all over the country and Australia where I visited, Good usable stuff mind you….
Stupid decision by the council.
