3GS Environmental Enforcement Recensioni 

We were issued fixed penalty notice,
We live in a flat above a shop and should put rubbish on the kerb mon wed and Friday. On the day a Friday we put rubbish out between 6-9 am. Council didn’t collect until 2046 they came and took picture and issue a fine penalty notice to the sun if £400 3GS we argued this but they don’t care. How can a council be so heartless we have cctv footage of the time rubbish was put out and time enforcement officers took pictures

Waltham Forest started employimg these legalised robbers in April 2021. FPN of £150 for giving the birds a piece of crust from a sandwich on a green ! Nice money maker for the council. LIED about apoealing the fine, you can't!! Ironically I was surrounded by plastic discarded garbage, maybe they thought I was a tourist.

We received fixed penalty £400 for one green recycling bags that we put on collection spot about 10 hours early before our waste collection. ( Waltham Forest Council)

We haven’t bins so we must prepare our waste bags to pavement in front our flat for waste collection every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 6 am. If you are not able to put your rubbish bag there in right time 6am, there is not collection for you. If you prepare rubbish bags early than you facing £400 penalty. It’s SICK. We went guilty and we was expecting warning. We was wrong, none warning. No one want to talk about it with you. They don’t listen. They want your money’s only. Maximum penalty issued, none mercy.

I just fined with 400 pounds for absolute no reason!they took photos of my waste including an envelope with my name on it at Wednesday 20.37 and at a different spot while i left my waste at 06.30 in the morning! I was shocked because i was innocent!im not gonna pay a penny until they gonna show me on cameras that i left the bag in this spot on this time.

What a bunch of horrible nasty people they should be ashamed of there selfs maybe it’s best to prevent rather then watch the act the following you Around like a common criminal I definitely will not be returning to Bristol

BRISTOL CITTY CENTRE 3GS .. i was approached by one of these “thugs” 10 minutes after the “offence” which he spotted whilst having a coffee break there are no signs in regards to enforcement and actually very little to no bins located in the area …

I was immediately intimidated by this character and was “tricked” into giving my details I was then further intimidated by another thug who was his partner… I was shocked and felt vulnerable I wasn’t explained my rights so I gave my details and asked what the appeal process was they told me I had to pay the fine and then could appeal this information is incorrect !! .. I immediately paid the fine as I do not want to go to court or have a criminal record I can’t afford to do that so I have very little choice but to pay and now struggle to pay my bills for the remainder of the month after having been fleeced by these two “officers” .. I have contacted their customer service team and a very rude uneducated woman answered and throughout the call belittled myself and said you can’t appeal as you paid unlucky not our problem anymore …I tried to have a reasonable conversation but she was unhelpful and really didn’t want to know or even care about what I was trying to explain .. overall this whole experience has been horrible and financially hard I already have unstable mental health and social anxieties and I have been completely taken advantage of by these people .. I have no way of having this dealt with fairly just a complete scam

JUST WALK AWAY!!!! If you are approached by anyone from this company you have every right to just walk away without giving any of your details they do not have any powers of arrest or contact with the police as I was made to believe!! I was approached and intimidated by two “officers”, tricked into giving my details after they told me I was only being given a “warning” NOT a fine they then proceeded to print out a fat £120 fine. I am a full time student and a young carer so I am not made of money and since I wasn’t able to get the £120 together before the 10 days I have now been lumped with either a £150 fine or I have to go to court where I could possibly get a criminal record and a £2500 fine. I accept littering is now a crime and this is what they are trying to enforce but the fact I wasn’t allowed to pick up my cigarette and look for a bin elsewhere shows that these people don’t care for the environment at all they are only looking to catch unlucky people in the act to make their commission.

One star given as it won't let me give none. They follow people who are smoking banking on them dropping it. Manchester is a dump as it is and they don't even pick the litter up. Robbing scum of the earth

Absolute bunch of scammers. Don't understand how this fraud could continue, unless it's a Tory party donor company. I threw a butt in the drain and got fined £150, despite telling the moron that I didn't throw it on the pavement but he had it in to make his commission out of me.

I been issued with a £150 fine for putting 1 strawberry in a flower pot as was with mold and i suffer from hepatitis b and cant have mold. I explain the situation and removed the 1 strawberry. I also shown that i had rubish in my bag that i didnt litter as was for the bin. The strawberry is a biodegradabile product and really tought is ok to put in in the flower pot. Didnt trough it on the floor or pavement. They issyed the fine and told me that i can email them or call to explain the situation and they may cancel the fine. I contacted 3GS qs instructed by the ladies that issued my fine but they dont accept complains and they answer was must pay no matter what or go court were i can end up paying £2500 fine.
They are an absolute joke and they should have a complain section. How council employ this people ? Disgrace

This is a joke!
They can't make anything but trouble!
The area where I leave does not have provided bins to dispose the waste, so the garbage is to be left on the street at the right time( Mon, Wed or Fri between 6am-9 am).
The problem is that the waste is not collected early that day, sometimes later in the evening or even next day. This situation gave this "experts" the right to fine me for illegal dispose of waste. Basically they are saying I am not disposing my garbage bags at the right time or day of the week.
I explained them once, I even took pictures (doing now a "detective" job...), that I left- dropped the waste legal but it was collected late. Even if I am a corect citizen and always looking after the environment, I learned something new, and I am not joking. Never leave tags, stickers or anything having name and address on it. This is bad but this is how it's work!
The 3rd fine is a nice one, £ 400...
I feel unsafe, I still live in a dirty area, this is the worse company to deal with environment.
Shame! I must leave from here because of them!

I live in a shared household and we are about 4 tenants in the house in Walthamforest. Our bins haven’t been emptied for ages, and to prevent the waste not to overflow and for the foxes not to open the bin bags, the shop downstairs who manages our household moved our bins to the busy main road to be emptied. I received a letter from 3GS that they seen my name in the bin and therefore fining £400. I am so upset because I didn’t move the bins. I explained that to them a million times and they choose to ignore it. I’ve received the second letter now that if I don’t pay I will be going to court. Can anyone kindly advise what to do? I am so upset and it is causing me anxiety. Why am I forced to pay something I haven’t done?! There’s no way to appeal it either. If I go to court would I have to pay additional fees? This is driving me crazy. This is what you get for being a good citizen.

Update December 2023
I never paid and didn’t get any issues so guys don’t be scared and don’t pay.

Fined me for dropping a cig butt in a pile of rubbish I was sweeping around my shop (May I add other peoples rubbish) to put in the bin.
Recorded me and read me my rights.
I asked him why he was picking on someone like me who is doing something about the constant fly tipping and mess rather than the people actually doing it. Looked very smug and could see him mentally spending his commission.

He was parked outside my shop on double yellows on the corner of a dangerous junction so I reported him.

Bunch of Neanderthals

Wish i could leave no stars. My son was in Manchester piccadilly and gave a few crumbs to a bird. Some big goon from 3gs pushed a card into my son's chest and gave him a £120 fine.The bird had flew off with crumbs so know litter was left behind. First time he had been to Manchester and asked where the sign to not feed the birds was. It was a long way from where he was sat and high up on a lampost. Why dont the council put these bullying clowns on an illegal gypsy campsite and slap ridiculous fines on them. They would pooh in their pants. Just a bunch of thugs and Manchester council should be ashamed of themselves for hiring them.

Fined me on Private property for dropping a butt and walking 1 step away from it before picking it up, after it was completely out. They targeted me because I caught the enforcement officers smoking in the same car park when I arrived. Wish I’d videoed THEM throwing their butts on the ground themselves. I was in a company shirt so stupidly gave them my details. Called to challenge the ticket and was talked around in circles by a lady with an attitude. She told me it was a criminal offence, I responded that I should go to the police to complain and appeal, she said the the police wouldn’t do anything. I said if it is a criminal matter, as she stated, then surely the police would handle it? She laughed. I asked her if their “officers” are students of the law or police officers, she said no. Makes no sense, I will try to fight it but I will probably have to pay. Had I thrown it and walked away, I’d understand. I stayed right beside the butt, waiting to pick it up. I pace a lot due to anxiety, the goons surrounding me didn’t help that and I got anxious, so I suppose they perceived that I was leaving the butt on the floor. No appeal process, condescending attitude from “customer service”. I will be going to the council to complain.

Scammers who intimidate you into thinking they have authority that they don't. They don't care about the environment, they don't care if you accidentally littered, they just want to get paid.

A disgusting scam company that targets women and tourists. enough said.

A BIG SCAM!
120 GBP FOR DROPPING A PAPER AND PICKING IT UP....

Absolute scam. They do not care about the environment and just targets vulnerable people without even offering them any chance under DEFRA guidelines. These scammers should be driven off the streets and exposed for the liars they are.
