    Hi all.around 6 weeks ago i noticed the lady next door was starting to pile rubbish bags in her garden,id say i counted around 20 at the time,i did say it to her as they were stinking and she said "its ok they will be removed next week,"..looked in this morning and they are still there,all be it moved to another part of the garden,now i count around 15 bags,id hazard a good guess the rest are stuffed in to her bins that she does not leave out,she also uses the excuse that "its all recyclable rubbish"..this is not the first time she has be doing this,3 years ago she had the council out over the same situation ,im worried over the rats/mice situation,and also the fact its not healthy.do i approach her again,or take it a step higher?

    i hope im in right section

    If she has a history with the council about this, then it would be worth getting in contact with them again.

    If she's done it before to the point the council had to step in and has effectively ignored you asking her about them, I'd get on to the council again before it gets to the mice and rats stage.

    Environmental Health Section of your Council should be contacted.

    Yes. That amount of rubbish in the garden constitutes a public health hazard. Typically, the council will remove the rubbish, and bill the resident.

    If she rents, let the landlord know that this is the second time that this has happened. If she has rubbish outside, she's probably hoarding more in a room.

    True. One case I know, tenants were storing bags of rubbish up in the attic.
