Shocking CCTV footage has captured the moment a tipper truck left a 250ft trail of rubbish in the middle of a residential street - including a wheelie bin, furniture and an old ceramic BATH.
The video shows the white tipper truck coming to the corner of the street, in Blackpool, Lancashire, stopping for 45 seconds while its back end is lifted, before speeding around the corner and dumping the rubbish.
The trail of waste, which was dumped at 11.30am yesterday, even left some residents unable to move their cars from outside their homes in Chadfield Road.
Calling a transit a truck, yet again
I thought Blackpool always looked like that!
I can think of some places i’d like to do that with 29 tonnes

Yes, I had a girlfriend once who said “Kiss me where it smells” so I took her to Blackpool.
Judging by load it’s a transit or at most 7.5 ton cage tipper.
Most probably owned by either one of our caravan inhabiting or eastern European friends who offer to load and take it away cheaper than the hire of a proper skip.
This is why they are cheap.
I didn’t know Blackpool’s high tide came in so far!

This. And because they accept any waste people expect grab and tipper drivers to take anything. I’ve turned up to load muck and found tyres, radiators, fence panels and even a chimnea. A few years back I saw a ■■■■■■■■ fall off the powerscreen amongst the rubble.

You’ve never weighed a transit doing that kind of work have you? I’m betting the total weight comes in at 5t including payload
In legal terms, a transit tipper wont carry 1.5t anymore. A lot of building firms now use Isuzus or Nissan Cabstars.
