I can't be bothered to read the whole thread, has anyone referenced @brokenflipflop?
I can't find any section to report fly tipping

Can you break a flipflop?
Apparently if you leave the heal of the flipflop just one inch inside your gate posts the bin men will break it for you.
That's how I read it anyway.

So now you've fly tipped them?
FWIW the guys who empty our bins are always cheery and have a phenomenal work rate. Probably a combination of wanting to get the dustcart off the narrow streets and the pressure to complete their round in time I should think. It's a stinker of a job and I wouldn't want to do it so props to them. The chaps down the tip are always dead helpful too. Hint: if you want something carrying, bring a heavily pregnant woman with you.
It's only classed as fly tipping if it's your rubbish or it's someone else's rubbish and you've been given the job of disposing of it legally. There was once a case of someone taken to court for kicking a can out of their front path onto the road. They said they kicked it out because they were mad that someone had thrown it on to their property and it wasn't their rubbish. The council couldn't prove it was their rubbish,,...case dismissed

Wasn't there an Audi angle to it as well? It was a fun thread anyway.

Some folk don't let rules and regulations get in the way of a vehemently expressed opinion.

Oh dear. Well if the lazy feckers had shifted it themselves in the first place i wouldn't have had to resort to such actions.

Go right ahead and look through those bags and try to find one single object that belongs to me i'd say

But they have your original report requesting the removal of bags from one street, which have gone and strangely they find a similar number of bags not very far away.... it wouldn't be that hard to guess how the bags in the new location got there!

But they said they had nothing on their screen to show i'd reported it, so surely no one has reported it? The bags are still there by the way. I'm off to work now.I suspect they'll still be there when i get home.

I'm not making this up but i did use disposable vinyl gloves to move the stuff. Not to hide fingerprints but to keep my hands free from any yukky stuff on the bags!

DNA profile? Now that would be a good use of taxpayers money.
