An old fridge, leather chairs and a microwave were among the masses of \u201cunacceptable\u201d waste left dumped outside people\u2019s homes in north Liverpool. The city council has launched an investigation after mounds of rubbish were left piled next to communal bins in Walton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cllr Beverley Kenyon took to social media to highlight how dirty items including household goods had been abandoned next to a series of large waste bins on the junction of Maria Road and Imison Road. On Facebook<\/a>, Cllr Kenyon said \u201cwords fail me\u201d at the state of the rubbish left in her ward.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Council<\/a>\u2019s streetscene teams have moved quickly to remove the waste brazenly left dumped at the end of the street. An investigation has now been set up to attempt to identify the offenders.<\/p>\n

Among the towering piles of flotsam and jetsam were discarded bike tyres, a dirty, broken swingball set and old furniture including leather seats and a sofa. Cardboard boxes were strewn across the street in front of the bins which are installed to support terraced properties where the traditional purple wheelie bins are not provided.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Council monitors the bins and will empty the units once full. A spokesperson for the city council told the LDRS it was \u201cunacceptable\u201d for non-residents to use the bins, particularly for large bulky items.<\/p>\n

Anita Johnson added her concerns alongside Cllr Kenyon on social media. She posted: \u201cIn theory the communal bins are a good idea but they\u2019ve just become a dumping ground for all kinds of waste that should be disposed of at a tip, in a skip or correctly recycled e.g. furniture and white goods.\u201d The local authority has warned that using an overflowing bin should be avoided in a bid to prevent attracting pests.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe rubbish dumped in Breeze Hill (Beverley Kenyon)<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Liverpool Council said: \u201cWe have investigated and cleared a number of fly-tipped items on Breeze Hill. All instances of fly-tipping are investigated by our enforcement team before it is cleared.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere an offender can be identified, further action will be taken. Communal bins should only be used by local residents for household rubbish and recycling.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unacceptable to use them, or the space surrounding them, for unwanted furniture, fridges, or large items. If the bins are overflowing, we ask that people do not continue to leave rubbish on the floor as this can attract pests.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe waste has been cleared by Liverpool Council<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople with extra household rubbish can take it to one of Liverpool\u2019s Household Waste Recycling Centres or use our free Bulky Item collection for large items like furniture or appliances. Anyone hiring a private company should ask to see their waste carriers license to make sure they are registered to take rubbish away.<\/p>\n

\u201cResidents can report fly-tipping via the Council website at liverpool.gov.uk\/flytipping.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Discarded bike tyres and old furniture including leather seats and a sofa were strewn across the street in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499698,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,14487,16,15,9597],"class_list":{"0":"post-499697","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-liverpool-council","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-walton"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115374454699774017","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
