Help identify grime offenders caught on camera in June’s Redbridge Wall of Shame
Published: 15 June 2022
The June edition of Redbridge Wall of Shame features CCTV footage of 10 new grime crime offenders caught on camera trashing the borough and Redbridge Council is calling on the community to help identify them.
This month’s Wall of Shame includes a man dumping a holdall, another shamelessly fly-tipping bags of rubbish and a pot of paint, and others who would rather dispose of their waste on the street than wait for their regular household waste collection.
Keeping up the pressure on the lawbreakers, the Wall of Shame empowers local people to help bring the mess-makers to justice by reporting anyone they can identify from the clips.
Local tip-offs from the last three editions of Wall of Shame have led to offenders being identified from the footage and four £400 Fixed Penalty Notices being issued.

Redbridge Cabinet Member for Environment and Civic Pride Cllr Jo Blackman, said: “Fly-tipping is a blight on our borough and we are doing all we can as a council to crack down on offenders and make our streets cleaner and greener. Our Redbridge Wall of Shame is already resulting in tip-offs from the community, and empowering local people to help in the fight against fly-tipping and catch those responsible for making our streets messy. By working together as one community we can make it harder for fly-tippers to dump their rubbish in Redbridge, or think they can get away with it.”
Redbridge Wall of Shame forms part of the council’s on going work under it’s Our Streets strategy to create a cleaner Redbridge. Taking a tough stance on grime crime, the council will fine or prosecute any individual or business caught dumping rubbish in the borough.
Enforcement action is also being coupled with other council led fly-tipping initiatives, including community engagement work, free online workshops on reducing and disposing of waste properly, and targeted fly-tipping operations.
The council also offers a Bulky Waste Collection Service entitling residents to a free collection every 12 months (maximum of 3 items). For more details, including costs for additional collections go to: www.redbridge.gov.uk/bins-waste-and-recycling/book-a-bulky-waste-or-large-item-collection/
Residents can easily report any fly-tips they spot in the borough online through the council’s Report It page: https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/report-it/
All fly tips made known to the council are recorded and investigated, with enforcement action being taken if evidence is found. The council aims to clear all recorded fly-tips on council land and the highway within 24 hours of it being reported.
