January Redbridge Wall of Shame: Help us find the grime crime offenders making a mess in our borough

Redbridge is one of the greenest borough’s in London, with award winning parks and attractive local spaces, and we want to keep it that way.

Working closely with our local communities we are continuing to crackdown on grime crime offenders in our borough, and need your help identifying the culprits caught on camera dumping their rubbish on our streets.

CCTV footage released for the January edition of Redbridge Wall of Shame shows seven clips of people illegally dumping their rubbish in the borough. Five images of fly-tips discovered locally are also featured.

Local people are being asked to come forward if they have any information relating to the offenders in the footage, the fly-tip images featured, or if they have witnessed the incidents taking place.

Head to Redbridge Wall of Shame to view the footage: https://wallofshame.redbridge.gov.uk/

If you can help identify any of the culprits or have information relating to the fly-tips, please contact Redbridge Council on: Cleansing.Services@redbridge.gov.uk

The law-breakers face a hefty fine, or prosecution if caught.

Local householders are also being reminded not to fall foul of the law by taking steps to ensure anyone hired to remove waste from their property, including building waste, is authorised to do so with the correct Waste Carriers Licence.

Failure to do so could end up in court-imposed costs and a criminal record if your waste is discovered fly-tipped and you cannot provide evidence of who you gave it to for removal or neglected to check if they had a valid Waste Carriers Licence.

Redbridge Wall of Shame forms part of the council’s on-going work under it’s Our Streets strategy to create a cleaner Redbridge. Taking a tough stance on grime crime, the council will fine or prosecute any individual or business caught dumping rubbish in the borough.

Enforcement action is also being coupled with other council led fly-tipping initiatives, including community engagement work, free online workshops on reducing and disposing of waste properly, and targeted fly-tipping operations.

The council also offers a Bulky Waste Collection Service entitling residents to a free collection every 12 months (maximum of 3 items). For more details, including costs for additional collections go to: www.redbridge.gov.uk/bins-waste-and-recycling/book-a-bulky-waste-or-large-item-collection/

If you spot a fly-tip in the borough you can easily report it online through the council’s Report It page:  https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/report-it/

All fly tips made known to the council are recorded and investigated, with enforcement action being taken if evidence is found. The council aims to clear all recorded fly-tips on council land and the highway within 24 hours of it being reported.
