    We have some building work going on in our house and we have a skip out the front which is being slowly but surely filled. Both Friday night and Saturday night someone turned up in the small hours and dumped a load of garden waste and general rubbish in black sacks. I was bloody furious as we are paying a lot for this skip and someone else is just filling it with their crap and avoiding having to pay the bin charge. I was determined to find out who it was and have now found a letter in one of the bags (ironically a "Environmental Waste Charge Review 2008" letter). I have a skip full of rubbish, some mine, some his (bloody foreigner too :eek:;) )and I have his name and address;

    What action should I take over this?

    Burn his house down. And a cross in front of his house. Foreigners need to know God rules supreme.

    Empty out the bags on his driveway or better still empty out the bags in his neighbours drive and leave the letter on the top of the mess.

    Mike.

    Dump it outside the local council office with the letter easily spotted. The litter warden will find it and fine him.

    OP the only legal thing to do is contact the garda if you wish, any other action would be illegal, amusing fun and nice and full of revenge but illegal.

    I honestly don't think that returning the bag would be illegal. I would also imagine the Guards wouldn't be too bothered either.

    What're they going to do, report him for illegally dumping their illegally dumped* stuff?

    *May not actually be illegal

    Kidnap him, take the skip and put in the sea, put him tied up in it and give it a nice hefty push to England, problem solved.

    I think it could be a form in itself of illegal dumping if you arrived and deposited the litter outside his home

    Return the bags to him.

    My vote is for leaving in front of the council offices wiht he letter at the top of the inside of one of the bags.

    You can still set fire to his house if that doesnt satisfy you.

    Guards wont do anything except tell you you cant put the rubish anywere else. Basically they wont be arsed at all and the ubbish will remain your problem.

    This isn't really true the garda are obliged by law to follow any legal complaint if they refuse you can contact some body setup to ensure they do I dont know which body but there is one, might even be the garda ombudsman.

    Why don't you knock on the suspect's door with the bag and the letter, and give him a telling off and throw the bag into his house while the door is open? Tell him that next time you'll call the police. If you shame him, maybe he won't do it again.

    Or send some heavies round to sort him out.

    yes. agreed.

    Ive done it actually.. we had aload of houses built up beside us, and all the back agrdens were facing a bit og property we own... 1 particular individual felt the need to dump his cut grass over the wall into our property. That made me a little pissed off. I got a black sack placed all the grac into it and left it at the front door...


    ... i took a blade to the bottom of the sack before i left... when the went to lift up the sack.. voila..

    There was no more grass dumped again

    Skip full of rubbish on their lawn or at least return their bags of rubbish with a "friendly" note attached.

    Yes you could write, "If you are going to dump your rubbish in my skip, it's a bit stupid to leave a paper with your address in it. If any more rubbish is dumped, I'll know where it came from and will send the lads round to see you off once and for all."

    Something along these lines happened a mate of mine. Basically, he hired this guy who had an ad in the paper to come to the house and take away a shed load of rubbish he had laying around. A few months later, both himself and his dad received court summins at the same time.

    Turns out the guy he had hired wasn't above board and had dumped the stuff on someones property. The owner of the property found some letters/envelopes with my mates and his dads addresses on them and pressed charges against em.

    My mate and his dad got away with it, as they simply explained what had happend. But anyways, you can and should go to the cops about it.

    Get a truck to lift the skip up, and empty the whole skip on to his garden. :mad:
