they found two persistent offenders in vans that they'd been trying to get for a while. No action against neighbours just two fake waste removal types
Seriously impressed that you managed to get the council to do something about this. A conspicuous CCTV camera trained on a skip seems like a good precaution, one to remember.

Had a skip at work recently fired between a few of us, not much change from £300
Within 1 day thing was full of all the neighbours junk, thankfully have good cctv so went and suggested they remove it, after a day most of them bothered, but was still a load of building materials and personal junk, put footage into council (felt like a right nimby) who spent more than the 20 seconds that I did working out who was who, they found two persistent offenders in vans that they'd been trying to get for a while. No action against neighbours just two fake waste removal types.
In Glasgow they've just got rid of free bulk collection of waste (you had to book items like fridges and other dangerous items) from back lanes (Inc in council tax), to a ring and pay us and we'll think about removing it system.
Immediate massive increase in fly tipping all over city and just outside of it. Le sigh.
