June Redbridge Wall of Shame: Help us find the grime crime offenders making a mess in our borough

Do you recognise this month’s Wall of Shame culprits? If so, get in touch with us.

CCTV footage released for June’s Wall of Shame shows three clips of people fly-tipping. In the footage the offenders can be seen dumping a suitcase, while others leave bags filled with waste, by public street bins, which is also fly-tipping.

Four images of fly-tips, including a dumped sofa, discovered around the borough are also featured.  

Sofas are one of the many household items that can be collected through Redbridge Council’s Bulky Waste Collection service, which entitles 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/

We are working closely with local communities to send a strong message to fly-tippers that we won’t tolerate their mess on our streets, and are continuing our crackdown on grime crime through Redbridge Wall of Shame: https://wallofshame.redbridge.gov.uk/

If you can help identify any of the culprits on this month’s Wall of Shame, or have information relating to the fly-tips, which could help track down the offenders, please contact Redbridge Council on: Cleansing.Services@redbridge.gov.uk

Community support for tougher action against fly-tippers has also triggered steeper penalties for those caught making a mess in Redbridge.

Anyone caught dumping their rubbish in the borough now faces a £1000 on the spot fine for fly-tipping.

The hard-hitting fine was introduced earlier this year following a change to legislation, and in response to community feedback, including a boroughwide survey which revealed that clean and tidy neighbourhoods, and tougher action for fly-tipping were among the top priorities for local people.

If you spot a fly-tip in the borough you can easily report it 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.
