Well I’ll be… Lewisham Council offers a FREE mattress collection service. Said fly tipper of mattress could have saved themselves a lot of angst if they had only known.

And now a washing machine and some broken up shelving.
So between 8:30am and 8pm the mattress was collected and a washing machine or dishwasher dumped. By 8:30 this morning the machine had gone but in itscplace broken up cupboard/shelves and boxes.
Ludicrous.
Ned Flanders got there first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyx_IW6nf68
Fast-forward to 1m50s if you wish…
Makes sense. After all, you can’t take plasterboard as hand luggage.
Although unsightly, the fly-tipping in this location does have the advantage of being entertaining. It often brightens up a quiet day in the office checking to see what delights are there today. Keep the pictures coming!
Is that the same red suitcase which has reappeared from the photo taken on 29th June?
Can we hire a black van with tinted windows, arm ourselves with paintball guns and “lurk” awaiting fly tippers? Can we, please!!
Tempting as it does sound fun.
Has anyone spoken to LBL about the matter?
It does certainly seem that it is an informally arranged collection point, maybe for people from the flats etc to have things collected from, or maybe local houses too which don’t have a suitable location to stop outside.
I doubt this very much given the size/volume of some of the dumps and the items included. Notwithstanding Lewisham only allow 3 items per collection and are quite clear in where it can be left.
This is flytipping plain and simple and you’ll note our Perry Vale councillor has already been brought in on the matter.
That said, nothing since the suitcase/plasterboard dump. Maybe the fly tippers are on summer hols.
There was a mattress there yesterday.
I realise that there is a 3 item limit (per booking) for Lewisham’s collections, and understand your point on that totally. But at the same time it may be authorised in some informal way, for a local landlord to leave stuff there when clearing out flats (most thinks look like a home clearance).
I notice it isn’t always Lewisham vehicles clearing it away, hence mentioning it.
For people living in flats etc, there is no logical place to leave large items, so this would serve as a substitute.
Rightly or wrongly so, it is a complete eyesore, and needs addressing for sure, but it still worth exploring all the avenues formally before rejecting them.
“Unexpected item in the dumping area. Remove this item before continuing.”
Lmao!
hi there is more and it keeps happening all the time
we need to stop this matter
Yep. It grew overnight.
