A dashcam footage has emerged that shows a motorist swerving around fly-tipped rubbish on a mile-long country lane.
After fly-tippers dumped the rubbish on the road in Llantrisant, South Wales, the motorists are forced to swerve around it on a mile-long country lane.
The rubbish includes cardboard boxes, crates, and bin liners.
A 40-year-old farmer named Rob Bevan captured the shocking footage while driving along the road.
The video shows fly-tipped rubbish on a mile-long country lane.
Bevan said he was called by his wife who got stuck on the road because of the rubbish.
He said: “My wife rang me up about 3.30pm on Wednesday and she was in tears as she got stuck on the lane and I had to go and help get her out. It was just a hell of a mess and Deborah was in shock. I thought it was just a bit of rubbish on the side of the road but it went on for a mile.”
“Shockingly, the people who did came it back an hour-and-a-half later and unloaded loads of rubbish into a stream. And then overnight there was another load that was dumped – it is just absolutely dreadful and they need to be caught.”
“It stretches the entire length from my farm to the next farm which is a mile long. I use the road every day to go to work, but they don’t seem to care. It’s a bit of everything – there’s baskets, flyers, signs, fridges, used needles and endless pots used for cultivating cannabis. It looks like a landfill site.”
“I’ve been here now for about four years and we’ve had these problems ever since. Its an ongoing nightmare for us.”
He has now been single-handedly picking the rubbish up and taking it down to a recycling depot which is a mile away from where it was dumped.
He added: “I’ve been the one who has been picking this rubbish up and I’ve taken it down to the recycling depot free of charge. Why people do it I have no idea, the recycling depot is only a mile away and they’ll take the rubbish.”
“I don’t know what the world is coming to. What these people are doing is disgusting. They are brazen and to do this in the afternoon on the same day is crazy.”
Now, he is hoping the Rhondda Cynon Taff Council to take some action against the people who are illegally dumping the rubbish on the road.
