Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Rubbish Nightmare!
To add to that, we were noticing that our bins (especially recycling) are not being picked up regularly at all. In fact, my husband happened to hear the bin man and watched him- he was looking at each houses bins and skipping some intentionally. Ours was completely full and he looked at it and walked on by! My husband ran after him down the street, with the bin and made him empty it. ????? I'm starting to feel like we live in the middle of a dump.
Help on those issues please! Thanks☺

You've got to accept there's a lot of poor people, broken people, people who just don't know the rules, people living in multiple occupancies, people living in cars, etc... these are just not the type of people who are likely to have the will/inclination to adhere to the rubbish-dumping regulations. This has been going on for years - wasn't Haringey once found to be the dirtiest place in Britain? - as I think I said before in this discussion, surely the council/Veolia needs to understand that the normal rules don't apply in Haringey, especially in Tottenham where I live, and make much more of an effort to tackle this.

I think it's up to us though to tell them the rules. A lot of people, when made aware their behaviour is socially unacceptable, will not do it again. This message often carries more weight from neighbours than from those in authority. (Though please always be safe)
I had new neighbours move in upstairs. Anything they didn't want, they threw out they're kitchen window into my front garden - kitchen roll, dead flowers, bread crusts. I went up there one day and left a food waste caddy and a roll of liners outside their door, with a note explaining where to empty it and where to get more liners. Now it's just the local youth littering in my garden (but only when I'm on holiday!)

Well done to you. That's the sort of thing my wife would do, but very few people are as combative characters as she is - I've certainly learned a bitter lesson not to leave any crisp packets lying around in the house :-)

But seeing as they won't pay for a proper bin collection/street cleaning service, are they actually going to fork out for people to go through the rubbish?

I recently tweeted some photos of a huge heap near Turnpike Lane station and included David Lammy and Claire Kober and it got sorted quick as a flash and I've subsequently seen the neighbourhood action team or whatever they're called keeping an eye on the area as I'd flagged it as a fly tipping hotspot. It hasn't been in the same filthy state since...

That's a positive then.

As soon as the pile of rubbish next to the bin on Hampden was finally cleared, literally an hour later a bunch of purple bags appeared in it's place. How is that helpful??? Don't get me started on that ridiculously huge space-ship sofa.

I am sending this to the Senior Council Officer who deals with Veolia.
To followup on Liz's suggestion, I would be very happy to meet with residents about the waste problems on the Ladder. Emine and I willboth be at St. Paul;s Church on Satirday 27 August at 11am if anyone wants to come by and have a coffee to talk about these or any other issues.

Behind 533 Green Lanes is also an issue for residents, because it is an unadopted muse/ passage, rubbish is not collected by Veolia, bins have been provided, more are needed for residents to do the right thing. Ancillary storage buildings are converted into dwellings, if the council allow this there is a duty of care to provide for domestic refuse in my view.
It's difficult to disentangle from being fed up with this dumping, but you need to find out why they do this, to improve the situation for all involved. What happened to rubbish Czars?

As I walk past the overflowing dustbins, the discarded beer cans, water bottles and supermarket carrier bags full of tubbish next to lamp-posts, and the hawked blobs of sputum on the pavements I realise what a shithole this borough has become.

Supermarket carrier bags are worth far too much these days to put rubbish in them, surely!
