I’ve reported this, but a local restaurant is dumping their restaurant waste, including oil

Reported via mobile in the Flytipping - Chemical Drums category anonymously at 18:08, Thu 11 December 2025

Sent to Southwark Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8535749.

I’m reporting repeated incidents of illegal commercial waste dumping by food trucks operating at 103 Union Street, London SE1 0LA, managed by Samsite Ltd (one of the 9 vendors operating out of the site is dumping here). They have been regularly discarding meat waste, used oil cans, and other rubbish into the residential bins outside my property. We have had more rats, oil spills and rotten food smell from the waste that they are putting in the residential bins.

This has caused overflowing bins, strong smells, and hygiene issues. As per the Environmental Protection Act 1990, commercial waste must not be disposed of in domestic bins, and this activity amounts to fly-tipping.

I took these pictures this evening of these bins overflowing with mostly oil cans this time. I have previous pictures of the guys dumping rotten food, and hazardous waste from the food into the bins (including videos of where they are coming out of). This is the white van that comes up multiple times a week and I got their license plate number. They dump at least three times a week filling up our residential garbage cans.
