At last.

I live in hope. Caught the next-door-but-one's latest hump-buddy
dumping a fridge and a washing machine (?!?) at the bottom of the
occupants' garden earlier (in an area that can only be described as
wasteland* now !)

*the council have already had to come in and clear it once before of
all their shi*e - sadly, my immediate next door neighbour does exactly
the same !

To do so, they had to move them over 40 feet across unkempt wilderness
(formerly "garden") and through where their fence should be - god only
knows what happened to the brand new fence they had put in for free 2
years ago, but there's no sign of one now...

Now throw into the mix that to drag it across the "lawn" they had to
move it past their entry, from where they could have had it picked up
and disposed of *for free* by the council with a single phone call.

You're lucky if you can get this stuff disposed of for *free. Our
council has a £20 charge. They don't seem to realise the people who
can't afford a car to get the stuff to the dump are the same ones who
can't afford £20 to have it collected. Then they wonder why so many
fridges and furniture is dumped in back lanes.

Using the car they can't afford, no doubt.


No. It's fairly simple to drag it out the back gate and leave it in
the lane. A 15 metre drag at most for a house in the 4 wards in this
town centre. Three piece suite out there last week. Not mine. Probably
someone vacating a tenancy and cleaning out before leaving.
