Comment	The problem arises through a combination of two issues. Firstly you have the problem of anti-social bawbags who don't give a fuck, and you have a city council who refuses to pursue the litterbugs and fly-tippers. I had a similar problem with a tenant dumping their rubbish in the backcourt rather than walking 30 feet to put their rubbish in the bins. This went on for 6 months or more, resulting in a mountain of black bags pilled up just outside the backdoor of our close. I figured out who was responsible for this trash mountain, and I contacted the council in the hope that they would take action against him. The council environmental services officer turned up and told me that as there is no video evidence there was nothing he could do. He then went on to tell me that unless the tenants paid to have the mess cleaned up the council would take us to court. We contacted our factor who arranged for a contractor to come and lift all the rubbish dumped by the anti-social bawbag. The cost of this clearance was £140, which isn't a lot of money when split between 8 flats, cheap you might say. Our local council recycling centre is in Queenslie and that is where the collected rubbish should have been deposited. At that time it costs £180 per tonne for a commercial business to dispose of their rubbish, or a minimum of £140 for up to half a tonne. As the company appointed by our factor charged us £140 to lift the rubbish mountain and it would have cost the contractor a minimum of £140 to dispose of that rubbish, I can only guess that our rubbish was fly-tipped elsewhere. I tried to do the right thing. I contacted the council to deal with the problem and they and they threatened me with prosecution. I contacted my factor who appointed a contractor who went on to fly-tip the rubbish. The problem with Glasgow, too many anti-social bawbags, shit-tier council, shit-tier factors, shit-tier contractors.
