Students turn neighbourhood into a 'dumping ground' by fly-tipping waste before summer holidays

Video shows mounds of rubbish and old sofas and laptops dumped in alleyways - some of the waste left behind by students. Speaking on camera, Nino Guglielmi, 83, who has owned a local hair salon in the district for 60 years, said the streets near his home became a ‘dumping ground’ every summer, when students leave their properties. The weekend closest to July 1 has become notorious for fly-tipping as it marks the point when most shared student house leases expire.

They’ve thrown divans, they’ve thrown settees, they’ve thrown duvets, they’ve thrown laptops – you name it. They’ve thrown everything and then they go away...It’s like a dumping ground.” Nino, who moved to the Manchester suburb in the 1960s from Italy, said he had tried to tackle the waste with other residents as the problem worsened in recent years. He said: “The area has got worse. It used to be bad, but now it’s gone absolutely ridiculously bad. They just dump it on the floor and they go.
