A car boot boss from Birmingham branded fly-tippers 'scumbags' after they unashamedly dumped tonnes of waste at their countryside site.

James Taroni - one half of Birmingham's "Car Boot Kings" - said the offenders "need a right good hiding" after rubbish was discarded on a field in Coleshill, Warwickshire, which their business is due to move to.


Junk building materials, old tyres, battered sofas and general waste in fly-tipped mounds are shown in video footage he shared on social media.

Dad-of-five James, 49, told BirminghamLive: "We arrived Friday (April 11) and found this awful mess.

"It's just terrible how people can be. We need to find the culprits."

In the video, he says: "This is fly-tipping on an immense scale. These people are scum. These people need a right good hiding."

He added: "You can go to the tip and get rid of this for free, but this is literally disgusting.

"I don't get angry, but this makes me sick man.


"I'm lost for words. This is our site and going to be at our expensive to clear this off because of some scumbags.

"Now if you're that scumbag watching this we've got a problem with you and we will sort you out!

"Come down, you know where we are at the care boot and we'll have it out.

"You can hear the birds singing and this is in the Warwickshire countryside - scum.

"This is so wrong... Stop people fly-tipping and ruining our countryside."

James runs "Car Boot Kings" with business partner Andrew Walsh, 49. Last month James flew out to California to open a car boot at Coachella Valley High School as he takes the quirky English concept across the pond.
