Summary
- Fly-tipper caught on CCTV discarding bag of rubbish next to public bin
- Ealing Council urges public to help identify the individual

On August 23, 2025, a fly-tipper was caught on CCTV discarding a bag of rubbish next to a public bin in Southall, west London. The unknown man was seen rushing across the road to discard the bag, which was already surrounded by litter.
Ealing Council has now called on the public to "name and shame" the individual for his deliberate action. The council has stated that an investigation is underway, and they are urging anyone with information about the incident to report it through their "name and shame" webpage.
The punishment for fly-tipping can be up to £1,000 in fixed penalty notices. This latest incident comes as London continues to grapple with a growing fly-tipping epidemic, with over 1.15 million reported cases of illegal dumping across England in the past year.
Locals have applauded Ealing Council's efforts to track down the fly-tipper, with many calling for hefty fines to be imposed on such offenders. The council has vowed to crack down on fly-tipping and punish those responsible, in an effort to clean up the streets and deter future incidents.
