Constant dumping of rubbish, Hindmans Road

[Willard]

Hi there

Just wondering if anyone else is noticing and getting annoyed by the constant dumping of rubbish outside the Family Store on the corner of Upland and Hindmans Road?

This is an almost daily occurrence now. My guess is that the clothes and Southwark recycling bins are encouraging people to dump their crap here, although obviously that is no excuse. I have brought this up several times with the corner shop owners and they don't really seem that interested. There is a CCTV camera there, but it does not discourage anyone. I have also emailed [email protected] today to try and get something done longer term.

If anyone else has suggestions would be good to hear them. Is there a way of getting the bins removed?

A similar thing at the top of Ashbourne grove. Its infuriating. I'm filling in the council fly tipping form on a weekly basis. But there are no bins so I'm not sure getting rid of them will help on Hindmans. Once people see rubbish being dumped there it just becomes the place to ditch stuff.

This used to happen on McNeil Road in Camberwell. This resulted in the council removing the recycling bins and replacing them with large boulders.

Same used to happen on the corner of Colyton Road and Homestall Road. Recycling bins ended up being taken away, just like they were at the Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's. It seems that people cannot be trusted to use recycling facilities in a responsible way.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah my thinking is also that they should be removed. Don't remember this happening before they were put in.

I?m also on Hindmans and thoroughly annoyed with the constant dumping of rubbish. No idea where it?s coming from but it?s week in week out. I?ll email the council too.

Swati, I've asked this question about neighbours' overflowing bins many, many times without the Council ever replying. Personally I think it should count as fly tipping.

I'm sick of the rubbish on my street as well as people using the pavement to store their bins and leaving rubbish next to their bins for foxes to pick through it and drag all over the road.

Get a grip, people.

Enough said.

Reported again to council. That bin needs to go.

Hi swati.clark,

Southwark aims to litter pick every street every two days. And sweep every street monthly.

If you feel this is not being adhered to please complain online here - https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/beta/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1541&np=1

Hi Monkey,

I'd follow the same link as above. Repeatedly. Failing that engage a local councillor to escalate.

NB. Sometimes rubbish is put in recycling or brown bin and then they do not get emptied. Is that the problem in this instance?

Hi Willard,

At some point the council will remove this recycling point as they've done from all large Southwark super market car parks for this very reason of dumping.
