Eiman says it has taken only one or two days for this latest pile to build up.

Some of the mess is allowed to be here as the blue, red and orange bags are used by road sweepers, flats above shops and businesses and this is the authorised collection point for them.

“But unfortunately, human nature, you see a big pile of rubbish bags on the side of the road, and you think, ‘oh, I’ve got some rubbish as well – I can’t be bothered to take it to the dump, I’ll just put it next to there’,” he says.

“It’s true, it does get cleaned up. However, we’re effectively cleaning up more than we’re authorised to do and it actually costs us.”

The team therefore undertake investigations “to discourage this from happening”, with a £1,000 fine set to be imposed on this particular culprit.
