Waste left on the side of the street
Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7817258.
I have just moved onto this street and the waste left at the side of this street is disgusting. First of all we bought a bin from the council and someone immediately started using our bin to the point we now have bought a lock to put on it. It seems like no one on this street actually uses bins and just dumps all their rubbish on the street. This morning I found dog poo had been put in my bin. We live on 386 Hotwell Road. This is going to and has been causing pests and we will end up with a rat issue! Tha bags have already been ripped open by animals. Someone next door has said that apparently the bin men do not take the rubbish unless it’s dumped at the side so they can easily take it which if true is just complete laziness and needs to be addressed . This issue really needs to be sorted out. I am absolutely appalled how people can just dump their rubbish outside it’s a serious health and safety issue and well as environmental. Someone please come out so we can have this issue sorted out, it’s disgusting. Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to report fly- tipping to Bristol City Council. We will aim to remove the fly- tip within 3 days, but this depends on its size, scale, location, or whether the fly tip is hazardous.
Reducing levels of fly tipping is important so please share any evidence of who is doing it with the council.
If you witnessed who fly-tipped the waste or have evidence (CCTV/photo) please call us on 01179222100, or submit this at https://digital.bristol.gov.uk/ streets-travel/ tell-us-about-a-fly-tipping-incident-you-saw #YourCity.YourCall

Here are some more images of the street strewn with rubbish just being dumped outside the houses. How this issue hasn’t already been reported and addressed I don’t know ! Apparently after speaking to the council we should all have Gull proof bags ? Not one person on this street has one of those or is even aware of needing one. The council need to address this issue ASAP !!!
