'Scumbag' fly-tippers dump entire front room in the street

'Scumbag' fly-tippers dumped the entire contents of their front room across the pavement in a residential street.

An old sofa, several wooden cabinets and a red leather arm chair were among the items dumped on Dorset Road, just off West Derby Road in Tuebrook on Monday.

In a photo shared with the ECHO cardboard boxes can be seen pilled on top of furniture, including a dismantled black leather sofa left propped up against a wall.

One local who witnessed what happened said those responsible for the rubbish dumped it there in broad daylight after a local charity shop refused to take it.

People living in the area were less than impressed, with many taking to Facebook to express their anger.

It is the latest incident of fly-tipping in the area, with figures showing nationwide problems with a rise in flytipping since lockdown restrictions were imposed in March.

Earlier this month, piles of rubbish were dumped outside the Lister Steps Childcare Nursery on Carnegie Road in Tuebrook.

This included an old sofa, a broken fridge and a TV box which were all left outside the entrance to the nursery.
