Tannahill Road, in the Ferguslie Park area, was filled with everything from sofas and carpets to beds and three-piece suites.
Tommy Eggerty, who lived on the street for 19 years and has since moved round the corner, said: “The council has nothing to do with it. It’s been going on for ages, they haven’t done anything.
“They need to pull their finger out, if it was happening where they stayed, they wouldn’t put up with it.
“It’s ridiculous because it’s going to be full of rats, that’s for sure.”
Tommy also told us that he thinks people are coming “from all over” to dump their “all kinds” on the street.
He also revealed that the bus was unable to travel on its usual route last week because rubbish was “dumped in the middle of the road and there were carpets everywhere”.
The items were eventually pushed aside.
The derelict housing estate will begin demolition next month after a £630,000 contract was approved by the council last Thursday.
However, one private owner of the home remains and the council has revealed that negotiations to voluntarily acquire the property are ongoing.
Tommy added: “It could be a nice place. I don’t know if they will build on it, I don’t know what their goal is.”
The demolition will involve empty properties in Ferguslie Park Avenue, Drums Avenue, Tannahill Road and Tannahill Terrace in a move that has sparked relief in the community.
Terry McTernan, chairman of Ferguslie Community Council, said: “We are delighted that it has finally gone through.
“As I said before, if it was up to us we would have it demolished tomorrow, but we appreciate that there are processes that need to be followed.
“I have to commend the council for their increased and regular communication with us in recent months, particularly in relation to tips.
“However, I must say that the tossing is getting worse again. Buses couldn’t even pass through there recently because of the back and forth.
“I understand that efforts are being made to try and reroute the bus route for obvious reasons, but until that is done, the bus has yet to go through.
“We’ve been advised that they should be on site in mid-July to start demolition, so we’re really looking forward to that.
“It is the last blot on Ferguslie’s face, if you will, removed.
“The community board looks forward to continuing to work with the council on the future use of this land for community purposes.”
A separate process of disconnecting electricity and gas supplies is already underway on the land prior to demolition.
The derelict housing estate is also a magnet for anti-social behaviour, with the local authority recently confirming there have been 16 fires in the area recently.
Councilor Graeme Clark, Labour’s representative for Paisley Northeast and Ralston, said at a recent council meeting: “I’m really pleased to see this contract given the number of fires that have been quite serious fires in the area and the amount of drifts. – tip.
“I don’t know if you’ve seen the amount of shuffling that’s happened in this area in one day recently, so I’m really glad that this contract – I think it’s long overdue – is now happening. ”
Councilor John Shaw, board convener and SNP representative for Renfrew North and Braehead, added: “I’m sure we’re all delighted that this has finally come to fruition.”
A spokesman for Renfrewshire Council said: “We are aware of local concerns about fly tipping in the Tannahill Regeneration area. Officials have been in regular contact with local representatives and residents to listen to their concerns and inform them of the steps we are taking to address these issues.
“Council officers have put a number of measures in place to deal with these issues, including regular visits to investigate and clear air strikes and debris. The access road to the site will soon be closed to help stop illegal dumping and appropriate control measures will soon be put in place to help identify and fine those responsible. We are also working with our partners in Fire and Rescue Scotland and Police Scotland to consider any further action.
“Officers regularly inspect properties in the area and this will continue until the area is handed over to an appointed demolition contractor in the coming weeks.”
