A driver was filmed unloading a van full of rubbish at a housing scheme in Edinburgh, causing frustration among local residents.
Edinburgh: A driver has been caught on camera dumping a whole load of rubbish at a housing scheme. It’s been a real headache for the locals.
Kate Gos, a resident, says the bin area near her flat is constantly filled with trash. She’s seen everything from bulky household items to even cars pulling up to dump their junk. It’s a mess!
In some videos, you can see a guy just tossing stuff into the bins. And it gets worse—there are even reports of bins being set on fire. Can you believe it?
Kate mentioned that their communal bins are the only ones around, so everyone from the neighborhood just comes to dump their stuff there. It’s not just annoying; it’s downright disrespectful.
She’s tried reaching out to the council, but all they did was slap on a few stickers. The area is still a dump, and it’s frustrating for residents who pay council tax and cleaning fees.
With kids living nearby, Kate worries about the unhealthy environment. She’s even talked to the fire service, who are fed up with the constant call-outs for bin fires.
Kate would prefer wheelie bins in their gardens to keep the area clean. It’s a shame that people treat their community like a dumping ground.
Edinburgh Council has been contacted for a response, but it’s clear that something needs to change.
