A resident of a tower block has vented their anger and urged residents to stop throwing rubbish – including soiled nappies – out of the window.

The frustrated tenant took to social media to share their plea for fellow residents to take responsibility for their actions and dispose of their waste appropriately.

According to reports, the problem of aerial fly-tipping has been a long-standing issue in high-rise buildings in the Chelmsley Wood area. Birmingham Live previously highlighted the problem in Oriel House, where residents received a letter addressing the “environmental crime.”

Similar scenes were witnessed in Bangor House, with discarded takeaways, fast food packaging, empty drink bottles, and even what appeared to be faeces littering the grounds.

In an attempt to tackle this issue, the Solihull local authority announced a new strategy in December 2021 to combat the disposal of dog waste and nappies from windows. They invited locals to provide feedback on their updated Environmental Crime Strategy and Action Plan, emphasising the importance of community involvement in maintaining cleanliness.

Councillor Alison Rolf said at the time: “Residents have already played a vital part in maintaining high levels of cleanliness across the borough. However, we are aware that a minority continue to disrespect our local environment by littering, fly-tipping or failing to clean up after their dogs in public areas.

“The Council is keen to build on its strong partnership with residents and continue the conversation about how we can work together so that everyone is able to enjoy our local environment. I encourage everyone who lives in, works in or visits Solihull to have their say and take part in the consultations.”

Despite these efforts, the problem persists. This week, a resident shared a message posted in their block on the B37 UPDATES community group. While they chose not to disclose the exact location, they expressed frustration over the situation, stating, “It used to be pigeons that fly and now it’s dirty nappies.”

The note read: “To the … park tramp stop throwing your ….filled knickers, food, nappies, bottles and other junk out the window. You [have] got two legs and two hands. Walk it outside to the bin.”

Other residents chimed in with their own experiences and frustrations. One person said: “I don’t miss living on the ground floor in flats. I remember a chip pan full of oil being thrown out.”

Another person wrote: “It’s the same in every block. You can’t use communal gardens in most blocks I’m afraid. [I have seen] food, nappies, washing bowls, bottles [and] used tampons. It’s disgusting to be honest.”

Tower block resident Jasmine Morgan, who spoke to BirminghamLive in October 2021, echoed these sentiments. She believed the issue stemmed from “laziness” saying: “People have got a bin in their flat and if they haven’t they just need to walk out the front door and use the bin chute. I don’t really understand. It’s just disgusting, especially the soiled nappies.”
