I know only to well about this problem because I've just had to have rubbish removed at great expense because someone reported the rubbish to lewisham council who then came round and informed me that I had to remove it or be fined. They also told the owners of the house you're referring to but they obviously haven't done anything about it and once it builds up to that extent it just looks like a rubbish dump and so people add to it. The cost of moving that lot would be vast.

It's an infuriating problem. I can't see the back of the house so I have no idea if someone decides to dump their rubbish there until it's too late. Lewisham council basically said that I'm a victim of crime but unfortunately it's still the homeowners responsibility. Even if they caught the person who did it, the items are still on the homeowners properly and therefore still their problem.

I drive past it at least once a week now and if there's any item I remove it immediately. I cannot afford to pay for the disposal of other peoples waste. It doesn't help that the owners of the house you're referring to have let it build up to such an extent because it just attracts more rubbish dumpers and, as you say, vermin. I have no idea what to do about this issue. It just doesn't seem fair!
