Huge piles of fly-tipped rubbish left on Cardiff field

Huge piles of rubbish have amassed in a field next to a Cardiff street. A 37-year-old resident from the Llanrumney area of the city said that the piles of rubbish began to form about a week ago.

"It's gradually got bigger and bigger," the resident said of the piles of rubbish. "There's over a tonne of rubbish there – there's sofas, there's mattresses. There's more than 50 rubbish bags." The resident said she fears the rubbish could be burned on Bonfire Night, saying the street usually hosts an annual bonfire.

"This time around it's not just a bit of old fire wood – there's plastic, there's rubbish bags, there's everything there," she said. The woman, who asked not to be named, said she had reported the incident to the council. "I walk my dogs there every day and now I can't because there's rubbish everywhere."
