He said: 'It was about 100ft long, there was earth, bricks, a washing machine, a wheelbarrow.

'They're obviously renovating a house and threw it on the back of a tipper truck and there we are.'

It is not clear who left the waste, and it may not have been the builders carrying out the work.

Mr McCulloch reported the incident to Winchester City Council.

In Hoe Road he also dealt with asbestos sheeting found in the street dumped. Metal gas bottles were also found in Swanmore.

He added: ‘It's been six or seven weeks since we've had any, then we've had three in one night.’

The Meon Valley man is on a mission to battle fly-tipping and set up his business and app so it can be reported.
