[Closed] Dumping in my back alley

franksinatra · 2017-09-19T07:52:29Z

I live in a nice area where people generally look after the place, it is clean and tidy. I have an alleyway that runs down the side of my house that connects my street to the busier road that is to the rear of my garden. This alleyway also accesses a small community woodland / kids play park. Over the past few weeks someone has been persistently dumping rubbish down the alleyway at the junction of the woodland. So far so easy, just need to catch them and wee in their bombers. But, I am sure that this person has a serious drink problem. The rubbish usually consists of empty bottles of cheap red wine or vodka. I collected 4 empties on Sunday afternoon and when I went round to walk the dog at 8pm there was another bottle there, plus toothpaste and chewing gum wrappers. Over the course of the past fortnight I reckon between me and my neighbour we have collected 30 bottles. I have reported it to Council but difficult to see how they can do much, other than the occasional tidy up. So, what are the options? Passive aggressive anti-littering poster, wildlife CCTV camera, stakeout, Alcoholics Anonymous leaflets, bear trap, leave a bin there and resign myself to emptying it….. I have reported it to Council but difficult to see how they can do much, other than the occasional tidy up.

you miss the excitement though don't you frank?
the mystery, the thrill, the covert operations?
you hanker for more neighbours throwing their junk up your back alley.
