A man in Ta' Giorni has been caught taking the notion of Not In My Backyard to a whole new level. 

In video uploaded to Facebook, the man can be seen chucking rubbish over the back wall of a private yard and into an abandoned field on the other side. 

Empty buckets, what look like shoes, a steel frame and other bits of waste all make it past the wall, with the man seemingly keen to give his throwing arm a workout. 

By the end of it all, the illegal dumping created quite the rubbish pile, as a photo uploaded along with the video indicated. 

Before....and after.

The video was shot on August 15, the resident who shot the footage told Times of Malta.  

"The property owner knows I took the video," he said, adding that the man littering had been employed to carry out some work on the site. 

He said that he had reported the matter to the local council and been assured that the mayor would be speaking to police about the incident tomorrow.
