PICTURES: Anger over 'tonnes of mess' allegedly left inside huge Sheffield storage unit

Tonnes of rubbish including about 40 stained mattresses, broken furniture, old TVs and even chopped down trees can be seen piled high in these images.

She told how the tenant was a business which specialised in waste removal and garden clearance but they had failed to clear their own site after they were told to leave.

The business owner, who did not want to be identified, said she wanted to share the pictures to highlight how landlords must be careful about who they take on as tenants.

"The rest of our tenants tend to be small companies and we tend not to have any trouble with them and enjoy a good relationship.

"He has used our unit as a dumping ground even though he claims to have a waste licence, has thrown our kindness back in our faces and left us with a big problem.

"We just want to warn other landlords to be careful when dealing with companies of this nature."

She added they are facing a large bill running into thousands of pounds to clear the site.

The Star has chosen not to name the tenant as they were not available for comment at the time of publishing.
