Rubbish in garden health & safety matter

Reported via mobile in the Flytipping category anonymously at 14:44, Friday 30 January 2026

Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8803070.

I am writing to report a significant amount of rubbish that has been dumped in a public area, which I believe poses a health and safety risk.

The waste includes general household rubbish and debris that is now attracting vermin and creating an unsanitary environment. It also presents a potential hazard to members of the public, particularly children, pedestrians, and anyone accessing the area.

This situation has been ongoing and appears to be worsening, and I am concerned about the risks to public health, as well as the negative impact on the local environment.

I would be grateful if this matter could be investigated and the rubbish removed as soon as possible. Please let me know if any further information is required from me, or if I need to submit this through a specific reporting system.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
