00:00Sefton Council's waste teams battle an epidemic of fly-tipping,
00:04clearing alleyways choked with discarded furniture, appliances and hazardous waste daily.
00:11In just one Latham Road alleyway, crews pulled out an office chair,
00:15a commercial ice cream freezer and a bin of cat faeces, all within an hour's work.
00:22Residents report seeing 50-plus bin bags fly-tipped weekly,
00:25while enforcement officers tracked down offenders using labels or witness reports to issue fines or prosecutions.
00:34Despite relentless efforts, rubbish often reappears within hours,
00:38frustrating crews who clear alleyways only to find them filled again,
00:41proving the fight against fly-tipping is far from over.
