Residents of one Cardiff street have complained about a mountain of uncollected rubbish which has been building up outside their houses for the last seven weeks. Some locals have spoken about the "nauseating stench" and the fact "huge rats" have been seen "having the time of their lives" amongst the flytipped broken bin bags.
In fact, the pile of refuse has now become so big that it's completely blocking the nearby pavement on Drawlings Close in St Mellons, forcing passersby with both prams and wheelchairs to walk into the road to get around it. One person, who asked not to be named, said that that problem lies with the lock on a bin store belonging to the Hafod Housing flats having been broken for months.
"As a result people have been coming from all over to dump their rubbish here," she said. "I've seen them turn up with bin bag after bin bag.
