Afilsdesigne Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Fly tipping is another case of council jobsworths creating a whole industry out of a non issue. If you add up the total cost of anti fly tipping costs, enforcement, surveillance, administration, clean up and everything else involved, you very quickly get into the millions of pounds annually. Rather than charging people to tip at approved sites my solution would be to PAY people to tip in the right places. If you got the rates right, some people would make this into a business and go around and clean up the countryside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that probably would work but a lot of the rubbish that gets tipped round our way is already free to drop at recycle depots yet for some reason they see fit to deposit it in fields, why?

Jason Bourne Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The other thing is why do we never see em at it. They dump it in the middle of the night, that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bourne Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 They do get seen and they do get caught. Rarely, yes. The problem is Councils need lots of evidence in order to reliably secure a conviction, such as CCTV recordings, which isn't always possible as the dumpers will just use new sites instead of old ones. In short, you need to SEE them dumping and catch them red-handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
