Dagenham: So, there was this wild scene where a fridge got dumped right on a residential street. A local guy, Colin Aylward, caught it all on his doorbell camera. It was a loud crash when the fridge hit the pavement. Can you believe it?

Colin mentioned that this isn’t the first time he’s seen such blatant fly-tipping in his area. He reported it to the council and the police, but it took them about an hour to show up.

When they finally did arrive, they just rolled the fridge from the pavement to a patch of grass. Not exactly a thorough cleanup, right? Colin was pretty frustrated when the police told him they wouldn’t be investigating further.

He said, “Both the council and the police don’t want to know.” It’s a real problem, with people dumping rubbish all the time. The fridge was dumped late at night, and Colin thought the noise was fireworks at first.

His neighbor even said the fridge came from a kebab shop nearby. It’s just a mess, and it’s upsetting a lot of folks in the neighborhood.

The next morning, Colin’s cameras caught some guys loading the fridge into a red van, looking like those Jawas from Star Wars, scavenging for scrap metal.

This isn’t a one-off, either. Colin has footage from 2020 showing rubbish spilling out of a van as it drove down the street. He’s lived in Dagenham for ages and says it’s gotten way worse over the years.

“It was lovely in the 80s when I was a kid,” he reminisced. “Now it’s just filthy, and no one seems to care.”

The council did respond, saying they were alerted about the fridge and sent a team to make the area safe. But they couldn’t take the fridge right away since they didn’t have the right vehicle. They promised to send a proper team the next day to handle it.
