Fly-tippers caught in the act: Rubbish dumpers, mattress flingers and binbag litterers are captured on video

Daily Mail  

Brazen fly-tippers have been caught on video plaguing a North London neighbourhood by dumping truckloads of rubbish in eco parks, alleys and gateways. CCTV captures the two men using a crow bar in a bid to wrench the gate apart Seconds later two fully laden lorries swing in and begin dumping their loads Litter-pickers the next morning found the deluge of waste that was left behind in the eco park Rubbish included carpet, boxes, timber, cupboard doors, filled sacks and mattresses 'Our cameras have caught offenders in action and we need your help in identifying them,' the council wrote as it launched the site in October last year. Cllr Pritesh Patel, Cabinet Member for Cleaner Streets and Public Safety at Harrow Council, said: 'Like our residents, we are fed up with seeing fly-tipping happen on our streets. Harrow Council added: 'While we continue to work with residents and businesses on the right way of disposing waste which includes our annual free bulky waste collection service - we’re also investing an additional £800,000 to keep our streets clean and restore pride in Harrow.' Two men were caught dragging a mattress and a piece of furniture down Park Way in September and left them on the side of the road Another pair were seen leaving an old mattress down an alley Three men carry a black leather sofa down Canons Park Parade in November Another group leave a white sofa on the corner of Pinner Road But last month the council had to back down after trying to fine a five-year-old £1,000 for fly-tipping.
