the moo Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I came down jawbone hill towards oughtibridge and saw a load of beds dumped in the road edge at the entrance to someone's farm and wonder what makes people such selfish scumbags to rid there waste in this manner, we are priveledged to live in area surrounded by fantastic countryside and these low life's do this on a regular basis, why dont they take the stuff to designated recycle centres or do they like spoiling something nice.

taxman Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Maybe because they don't want to pay the commercial rates for going to dumpit sites. I'd guess that most fly tipping is done by cowboy firms who do house clearances or rubbish removal etc, accept payment for removing the items, but then decide to dump it in the countryside rather than pay a commercial rate to dispose of it properly. They are a blight on society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of one takeaway at Firth Park that got caught tipping near Radio Hallam and they were just warned, apparently they were so stupid they left bills and company letters in with all the crap they were dumping, all the food waste. Cameras were put up to catch fly tippers at that location and they were stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrangaroo Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The fines can be in the high thousands and/or a prison sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it, what's the point my mate got fined for a tab end out is car window and these mega polluters get warned, all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
