flytipping/general rubbish on Tintagel Crescent

[adey]

evening all

i was just wondering if anyone else in the tintagel crescent area is concerned/bothered by all the junk that ends up scattered around the lordship lane end of tintagel crescent?

i am sure some of the stuff left outside the charity shop ends up being picked up by people who think they like the look of it, only to decide a few metres down the road they don't and dump it. some of the mess is also no doubt post-pub detritus, especially at weekends.

but what is harder to explain is the copious amounts of general, mixed and weird rubbish that appears and is left either by the garage at the end of the road or round the end of the alley behind the indian restaurant. it often looks like it has been deliberately left/stashed on private property (i saw two 1980s portable TVs in dumped in a front garden a while ago...) or just dumped on the street.

sometimes it looks like bags of clothes/really random odds and ends destined for the charity shop - in which case i can't understand how they ended up where they are (surely people coming to drop stuff off wouldn't leave it 20m away from the shop, and surely someone picking it up from outside the shop then deciding they didn't want it wouldn't leave it neatly by the garage or the fence by the indian 20m away??). other times it's just rubbish. this weekend there was a sainsbury's bag with, amongst other things, a broken egg shell and a pair of knickers....failed attempt at a niche omelette recipe? this stuff inevitably gets strewn all over the road.

maybe people from the nursing accommodation - but they have their own bins? maybe bin men who don't want to take certain stuff?

i know there are options about getting flytipping reported and investigated which i will look into (i know this won't apply to items on private property), i was just wondering if anyone had seen anything or had any thoughts about who might be doing this? as you can see from the rant, it's starting to get on my nerves (apologies) and i would really like to catch them doing it!

thanks for your time.
