Fly-tipping and rubbish in some parts of Derby is nothing new. But there are claims that having to book slots at the Raynesway Household Waste and Recycling Centre to get rid of waste is making things worse.

We've seen pictures of some of the rubbish on the side of the roads, and people's front gardens.

A spokesperson for Derby City Council says:-

鈥淭he free booking system at Raynesway has been in place for over a year now and has been widely publicised. The introduction of the booking system was welcomed and praised by residents and local businesses. In December 2020 the Council鈥檚 Cabinet approved making the booking system permanent and an improved booking system will be launched in the near future. This is designed to prevent misuse of the current open system by residents and businesses. Details will be announced shortly. Currently, bookings can be made online, via the MiPermit system. Derby City Council encourages all residents to reduce, reuse and recycle. A regular 240 litre black wheelie bin provides more than enough capacity for the average household when taking steps to reduce waste and recycle as much as possible. For the safety of our staff, we will not move excess waste and we are only able to empty the contents of the wheelie bin. Further information about what to do if your bin is missed is available on our website. Anyone who chooses to blight our city, by fly-tipping waste and is caught, can expect to be issued with a fixed penalty notice or prosecuted.鈥�
