If they're anything like Kirklees you'll be wasting your breath.

It’s Leeds , probably worse .

Try this one. They get points if they reply, so the public can see who is useless!

Just make sure you are wearing some old tat and tell them you cannot afford a nece new suit like the one on page 503!

Just found around 40 ‘Next’ catalogues dumped in a roadside field .

Must be why just had an email asking if I've received my catalogue.

Check the catalogue first, @YorkshireAndrew might end up with some lady's lingerie.

Maybe somebody knows, but isn't it the landowner's responsibility to clear up and properly dispose of rubbish fly tipped on private land?

I know one of the local goodoleboys got a caravan dumped on his land that miraculously conveyed itself to the nearest lay by for the council to deal with! It was then promptly removed at council tax payers' expense.

Funny you should say that. Do you remember when "Joyriding" was in fashion, when yoofs would nick a car , tram over farmland with then once it ran out of fuel/broke down promptly set fire to it leaving the burnt out shell in the middle of a field? Well I knew of a farmer who had 2 on his land who picked them up with his telehandler and left them by the side of a country lane for the council to clear up.

Just found around 40 ‘Next’ catalogues dumped in a roadside field . View attachment 647078 Each one had the address torn off . View attachment 647080 Apart from one , I’ll be reporting this on Monday . View attachment 647082

Put on the next Facebook and Twitter pages....soon see them clear it up for you I expect, plus sack the twit who should have delivered them

Here’s been quite a few fly tipping incidents on this road , a prosecution & some publicity may help to stop it . I know it’s only low key but it’s the principle of it really .

True. We used to get tyres and old car parts. We saw a hire van leaving a fresh heap, so went to see the van company ( who also have a garage !! ) to see who had hired the van.
Supposedly they couldn't tell us, as they didn't know who'd hired it, WTF !!!
We suspected it was one of their staff, so told them we could easily deliver it all back to them, plus extras.

Not had any more trouble.

These days they probably wouldn't tell you because it would infringe his rights to privacy! I think you need a court order. WTF indeed! They will have a record of the hirer but then maybe it didn't go through the books?

Same thing when someone makes a malicious complaint against you. Their identity will be protected. Aw! Bless!

Very true, but we were pretty sure it was one of their own staff tidying up the garage.

Update on my dumped Next catalogues , I sent photos to them which have been forwarded to the courier for their attention . Meanwhile the council have removed said items from the roadside where they had mysteriously moved to. [emoji849]

I found a dumped computer on my land recently and it had a PAT testing sticker on it. I emailed the company as I presumed they had to keep records of all the things they tested and it was still valid, so they should have had the name and address of the company or person it was tested for.
I received a reply and a phone call from the company that tested it, but surprise they were very keen to pass on information to start with and then I heard nothing!!

 

[YorkshireAndrew]

Further update , the courier driver from Hermes was tracked down , interviewed & shown the photos I’d sent in to them . He came up with lame excuses as to why the catalogues were dumped . Anyway he’s had his contract with them withdrawn as he had already had a previous warning about his conduct . I’ll probably leave the matter there . Hopefully it’ll be a lesson to him .

Data Protection Act. Even collecting an old computer and taking it to the recycling centre may not be a big deal but it does involves time and expense, as well annoyance. It would have been nice to have taken the fly tipper to small claims to recover costs and make an example, which you cannot do as you don't know who he is. Sometimes the law is an ass.

I remember those times well, the farm I worked on at the time was on the edge of town with a steep hill, it was a favourite trick to set fire to a car and push it over the hill...

Council weren’t interested as the car was on private land, bizarrely though the car’s had a habit of migrating to the end of the road that leads to the council office’s......

They were soon cleared up after that
