I seem to remember this story from last year. And the year before, and the one before that, etc, etc. It's Student land - what do you expect? They can't take all that shit home with them, so they dump it outside.

Residents in a Cardiff neighbourhood have slammed the "disgusting" piles of rubbish left by university students moving out of their houses at the end of term.
I seem to remember this story from last year. And the year before, and the one before that, etc, etc. It's Student land - what do you expect? They can't take all that shit home with them, so they dump it outside.
Cardiff residents despair at the lack of newsworthy stories in the local media
Maybe the council should put a skip there at this time every year?
But students would complain that they can't put their rubbish in it as the locals suddenly got rid of all theirs.![]()
A lot of our nation's intelligentsia are unwilling or unable to, for instance, put food waste in the caddies provided so then it becomes a nice feeding ground for the seagulls and rats. The council tried to introduce fines for this kind of thing but couldn't work out which half eaten curry belonged to which house.
The decadence is off the scale - it's not even a lentil curry.
You'd think they'd have heard of Cathays by now, it's in the papers every year.
Maybe it takes some getting used to but they're given guides and you'd think after a couple of weeks they'd learn but nah.
Moving out week in Cathays is a seagulls paradise with bins being ripped open by them regularly, and the council do absolutely nothing to mitigate the situation. A number of large biffa bins located on streets throughout Cathays would alleviate a lot of the problem, you'd just need to rely on the bin lids being shut - just lock them at night as a pissed student tipping them over is a banker.
Its really bad and they are not showing any respect for their comunities but I agree, there should be a team on standby to go to the areas quickly and sort it out, they are not going to take loads of rubbish home, it's a big turnover week, the council should be ready and wating to act.
Problem solved for next year, wake up Cardiff City Council.
If you can find evidence of who it was you can always attempt to fine them for fly tipping later if it's really bad.
No doubt the agency’s the students use for accommodation will fine them if they don’t clear the cupboards and junk they’ve amassed out, so what are they going to do? Yep….out it goes. A guy I knew used to go around looking for bikes they couldn’t take with them, just left on the street.
