\n The fly tipping was called out in a post on social media, with an anonymous user asking how they can involve the council.\n<\/p>\n
\n The post, which included several pictures of the fly tipping, also said: “This is becoming a joke!\n<\/p>\n
\n “Totally unacceptable.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I have lived here a long time and it\u2019s never been like this.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The images showed rubbish which had been left in the alleyway, including a mattress, chairs, a sofa, and wooden pallets.\n<\/p>\n
\n The image also showed a large amount of general waste which had been left, and bin bags filled with unidentifiable items.\n<\/p>\n
\n Cllr Elaine Taylor, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said: \u201cIt is completely unacceptable to see rubbish dumped illegally in our communities. Leaving household or commercial waste where it doesn\u2019t belong is illegal, and we will not tolerate it.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cEveryone has a duty to dispose of their waste properly. When people ignore that responsibility, it puts pressure on public services and affects the quality of life for everyone.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAlongside enforcement, we are also working closely with residents to promote pride in our borough. Our recently relaunched Don\u2019t Trash Oldham campaign \u2013 including our new \u2018Clean Alleyway of the Month\u2019 \u2013 highlights the amazing work residents are doing to keep their communities clean and tidy, supported by our enforcement teams.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe will be visiting the area to remind residents how they can report fly\u2011tipping and to encourage them to share information with us.\n<\/p>\n
