This is on the old railway line connecting Congleton to Stoke, commonly called the biddulph valley way. Apologies for the daily fail link, it was either that or a pop up ridden local rag page. ]

Wonder how many of the dog walkers complaining hang the dog poo in bags from trees?
Bleedin' Norah, that's clearly taken repeated trips to dump all of that, looks to be recycling from an actual tip or "recycling centre"?
that's a big fly
The only good thing about that is it's going to be difficult for the local authority to avoid investigating it. Quite evidently a limited number of sources for that amount and type of crap so it should be a damn site easier than sussing out where a random fridge came from.
is it definitely fly tipping and not just an overflowing bin?
Exactly what I was thinking, there must be something in there with an address on for a business or a house so it can be traced. The people responsible should be made to clean it up personally.
Put a grassy layer over the top of it and make it a telly tubby feature.
Isn't that bales of Refuse derived fuel?
What tyres for flytipping??? 😆
Always surprises me that the councils don't use this as a potential revenue stream. Decent motion sensitive camera equipment could be paid for in one fine, it's always the same bloody places....
That looks like rubbish from a transfer station, its already had all the good stuff taken out of it (wood and metal) and therefore has probably been through a trommel and from that grainy pic looks like its been partially shredded too.
Its too big for the local authority, thats organised crime dumping which the EA will investigate.
By the way, it is very very hard to prove flytipping offences in a court.

I think similar. But then, it takes money to make money. There's a spot near me that always get tipped - a covert camera in the trees wouldn't take much, but I think they have to declare there is CCTV in the area if something goes up?
As above thats not your normal fly tipping, thats a full load of co-mingles as its known, come straight from a transfer station after sorting or a recycling company not willing to pay for it ! ... looks like a artic wagon has just tipped the whole load onto the road
If the council didn't charge to take stuff to the dump it would probably reduce the amount that's fly tipped.
I often wonder which is more economical.
That's the newly proposed recycled bike trail surface.
Must be getting it ready for a trial.
I wondered what Tesco did with all the old carrier bags they collected.
Tens of thousands of discarded plastic bottles, bags and cardboard boxes were crushed into 50 blocks and strewn across the pathway, and police are now hunting the 'industrial fly-tippers' responsible.
how long & how many trucks does does it take to dump that much rubbish?

If the council didn't charge for dumping stuff there would be no incentive to re-cycle, and the council would miss it's targets and get fined.

From the looks of it it was a couple of walking floor or compactor trucks, maybe 20mins at the most.
Maybe the company responsible did it as a "dirty protest" ..
I wonder if the perpetrators main residence has axles or foundations?
Yeah, i'm with Nobeerinthefridge, a motion sensitive camera but with a feed to MOD, linked a missile launch system to take the bastards out.
Just a small missile, not a nuke.

Can we make a satellite mounted laser instead - probably less messy to clean up than a missile strike 😀
I think they have to declare there is CCTV in the area if something goes up?
If they do so and it stops fly tipping, that's fine by me.
Similar stuff has appeared on the ols leycett rail line near keele.
Wow how up their own arses are singletrack world , I went to follow the link and this is what I got .

Ramsey... whats the issue? If stw doesn't like the daily mail what's the issue. There is nothing to say that the site should be media impartial.
As for the rubbish. I used to drive tipper lorries. There are more than a couple of dump loads I would say in those piles.
Ramsey Neil - it's been like that for about 3 years
They also have a point (the only thing which irritates me about it is that it opens the DM link in a new tab - as if I want to keep the STW virtue signalling tab to remind me).
What's the point of not allowing a direct link and then providing you with one after you've read the little lecture . Is it just The Mail or do they censor other publications ?
@ramsey I guess they can do what they want with their website and publication. I'm sure they are loosing out on revenue though with their biased leftwing slant, but that's their perogative.

Really? That's brilliant. Well done STW
#stopfundinghate
Direct link brings targeted ads, this place has enough challenging individuals without adding daily mail readers.
Oh nice, ive ridden these tracks now for years and ive never seen any fly tipping, however that section is close to the road and i guess a gate has been forced or left open as the tracks are very vehicle proof from Congleton all the way into Stoke. Seen plenty of other stuff on there, things on fire, herby smelling stuff and it just gets more interesting the closer you get to Hanley.
Still looks better than Stoke

You get this site for free, if you don't like it...
Thank you for that it really answers my question .
But are you saying that you really want to be able to see Daily mail links? Or are you just annoyed at a perceived infringement of your right to access information?
If the first, then you'd be better off on the DM site moaning about STW to the frothing masses than on here moaning about how the owners of a site run [u]their[/u] site.
Thank you for that it really answers my question .
Your question has been answered, and it's no-one else's fault that you don't like the answer.

Just to help you the question is the bit before the question mark , perhaps you could explain how it has been answered or are you just keen to put the boot in so you can be one of "the gang "

OK so my point is there are far worse publications out there so banning direct access to The Mail is rather pointless , especially as they then supply a link so you can get on to it . And while The Mail is not my cup of tea there is nothing wrong with the article that has been linked to . I don't expect to win an argument on STW forum that is critical of STW so I will make this my final post on the subject and will agree to disagree with others .
^whataboutery alert!
There aren't really any far worse publications though Neil..
The mail provides fuel for hateful idiots in their millions.
Without the mail, we might stand a chance of nurturing a half sane electorate
I'm very glad STW won't link to The Daily Mail. Excellent work.
I don't always agree with singletracks editorial stance but on the mail they are spot on. YO can link to mail stories but STW do some magic trickery that means the mail get no revenue from click thru which seems reasonable to me. No censorship but no money into the mails coffers.
can't see the problem myself
What tjagain said.
I also agree with the stw/mail stance.
Just read Thursdays copy in the tea room at work.
I'm now full of hate and bitterness.
& re the fly tipping - something similar done in Herts recently.
Tipper truck blocked a quiet country road with waste.
grrr.
My aunt had a friend who had written on her gravestone "I never read the Daily Mail".
Sadly this is the predictable consequence of making council tips expensive to use. That plus fines and chances of being caught provide little deterrent
Councils get hit both ways here.....Given the enormity of the cuts from central government grants have had to prioritise and to increase revenue
So charging at Recycling centres for business use is one such method.
Who ever is flytipping is a business/ industrial scale so is reducing their costs aka making more money by fly tipping they will have added this charge on to any business transaction even if it is cash in hand.
See the case in Blackpool on the telly last night of flytipping.

That has absolutely nothing to do with charging to send certain materials to the tips as a) it's clearly not from a household, that's post sort waste and b) it's not the DIY waste that councils are entitled to charge for. And considering the financial pressure they're under it would be negligent for a council to not be considering charging for Non-Household Waste brought in by residents anyway.
It's an illegal waste processing operation or a lazy transport from making a quick buck. And the EA are struggling to enforce as their waste crime department has been hit by funding cuts under the Austerity drives. It'll only get worse as currently 2m tonnes (ish) of rdf is exported into the EU and the route for that is looking more complicated.
Piss boiling this is the load thats appeared on my route to work.DSC_0913 by chris, on Flickr
Is that on Leycett Lane?
Anyway.....
That flytipping is obviously organised. I suspect local skip company transfer station. Its clearly already been processed.

Quite. That horrible rag is probably the biggest problem facing British society, IMHO.
It's so reprehensible that even David Cameron tried to get the **** of an editor sacked.

What mrhoppy said: you're talking out of your fundament. This is processed waste that has nothing to do with the "council tip".

@BumperYes its Leycett lane.
Scumbags.
Took a divert down RedHall lane last night so never went past it. Bet the house owner that overlooks it is overjoyed!
Absolute scumbags.
May they burn in hell.
Piss boiling this is the load thats appeared on my route to work.
Last time I visited 3 Cliffs Bay on the Gower Peninsula the entire bay was filled with 1/4 mile of that stuff, and worse. Dumped into the ocean, and then re-dumped by the ocean. My piss boils constantly.
Its crazy i mean i see fly tipping regularly and the guys and girls from the council depot i work at do a great job of the thankless task of clearing it up but these incidents are just nuts.
Makes me...makes me......sooooo angry. The amount of rubbish everywhere in general these days is crazy. I blame it partly on our consumerist society and throwaway culture. However, kids need to be educated from a young age all the way through into their teens that it is not good civil behaviour to litter. Maybe then they won't grow into adults that think this sort of thing is OK. It's criminal and I really hope these oiks are apprehended and given the harshest penalties that not only teach them a lesson but compensate the council adequately to provide a thorough clean up job.
If the wind kicks up this stuff is going to spread over a very wide area and it'll be extremely difficult to locate. Drones may need to be deployed to assist as well as locals volunteering in the clean up. You can't blame this on the council and think they'll deal with it.
P.S. and what is it with the idiots in this thread ranting about links to the Mail and what not. Go start another thread. This one's for ranting about rubbish of a different variety.
Who keeps flytipping loads of daily mail click throughs, if you want to read that crap go to wh smith and read it, like all the weirdos do.
More of it, not far away from that above. Looks like same stuff too. Absolutely foul. it's gonna go everywhere with wind and rain.
http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/video-who-has-dumped-all-this-waste-in-madeley/story-30104336-detail/story.html
Shit me its all over the place. If theyve identified where it originates it shouldnt be hard to find who collected it. A landfill and a incinerator are within a few miles away aswell.
This could be a complete coincidence but Stoke is hidden under a toxic cloud today, a plastics recycling plant is on fire.

Now someone is going around setting fire to the piles of dumped plastics that haven't been cleaned up yet.
I was just saying to the wife at the weekend, how fly tipping scum should be paraded through the local town on a Saturday afternoon with them having to drag their ill dumped rubbish behind them.
Name and shame.
yeah I saw that parksie, trying to get rid of the evidence? hopefully someone's got something out of the pile sufficient to get the ID of the perp. BUT knowing public law enforcement and councils they probably weren't quick enough.

Isn't this how most of them end up? Seems to me to be standard practice, stockpile the waste up and when you've run out of space all of a sudden there is a convenient fire. Far too many scumbags and criminals involved in the industry.
find out who is doing it and fine them to 400% of the cost of the clean up.
and not just the waggon driver, target the prick in the big house with clean hands.
Anthropocene indeed.
Seems this large scale commercial tipping is getting more common? My employer has just spent £15k clearing 50 tons of rubbish from this site as a goodwill gesture to the local community (it seems its not actually our land but they cut through our locks to gain access).

But the most you might be able to pin on anyone use tidied from information from the waste is failing to fully comply with their Duty of Care to ensure the waste was managed appropriately, and even then it's been processed so that would be difficult to justify. This isn't just someone tipping their spare waste this is organised waste crime (which is highly lucrative) or the dying act of a failing waste business, its unlikely the material contained incriminating material.
One load was found to contain alot of waste from a hospital including addressed items. Somewhere like that will have a record of who collected the waste and where it was going. From there it's follow the paper trail and see where it goes.
