Wass said: “It’s all sorts of stuff. It’s rubbish, old toys, mattresses and sofas. You name it, they dump it here because it just appears overnight.”
The report, prepared for the council’s cabinet sub-committee for crime prevention grants, states that there were 195 reports of fly-tipping in Reynoldson Street in 2025 – one in nine of all incidents in the Beverley and Newland Ward.
Wass said she had reported incidents to the council “several times” and believed CCTV cameras would act as a deterrent.
Fellow resident Yasmin Shears, 35, said the problem had “become much worse over the last two years”.
“There’s been a build-up of rubbish and it’s just constant. It really doesn’t surprise me there have been nearly 200 incidents this year.”
