Nor would he. He also said that it would rebound and he was sure, being in the business of waste recycling, that the incidence of fly-tipping at twice the cost of cleaning up would soon start to bother the council.<br /><br />I know what he means. Near this centre the local railway embankment is littered with old fridges, abandoned televisions and stained mattresses. Even the fences have been broken down to aid greater fly-tipping. I don't know whether it is the duty of Dumpton-on-Hole to clean it up on the railway authorities, but there it sits each day for every traveller to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-12771009227353888402017-02-09T08:22:40.112+00:002017-02-09T08:22:40.112+00:00XX Apart from the great big pile of illegally-dump...XX Apart from the great big pile of illegally-dumped waste on the front page of the newspaper, you mean?

If the council is stopping such "companies" from gaining a competetive advantage by using household waste centres, they should be applauded. <br />If this leads to fly-tipping, then increase the penalties until it stops, 1st offence a fine equalling the cost of a months fly-tipping clean up for the council or a year in gaol, 2nd offence 25 years gaol or a choice of leaving the country and not returning.<br />Northishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-70877619003405926712017-02-08T12:46:44.514+00:002017-02-08T12:46:44.514+00:00The number of minor fly tipping instances has visi...The number of minor fly tipping instances has visible increased where I am due to the councils quest for cash. They limit private vehicles as trailer sizes as well to inconvenience the public. I've seen people turned away from the recycling centre and dump their waste just down the road. The cost for sending out a cleanup crew is expensive and imo soon it will not be viable as they are now intending to tighten the screw even more and reduce the main bins to once a month.<br /><br />Greedy, corrupt and inept.Lord Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-39727381289297041172017-02-08T11:54:30.856+00:002017-02-08T11:54:30.856+00:00Problem, innit?

You can either accept the cost of disposing of this stuff in an orderly fashion, or double the cost by having to clear up fly-tipping. <br /><br />'Course, you could go to source since we all know who is doing it. But that is beyond the pay grade of most police, who would be promptly disciplined for doing so. <br /><br />And how do I know who is doing it? Well, at my local recycling centre a van drew up. It was crewed by a man with a distinctive accent and a number of children, who should not have been out of the van at all. <br /><br />The man and the boys flung all the stuff out of the van in to a pile. They did not attempt to put it in any of the sorting containers, just left it for the site staff to have to deal with. Which they did. <br /><br />Bad though this is, it is better than them chucking it over the hedge of the nearest farm to cause trouble for wildlife, livestock, farm machinery etc. Woman on a Rafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897415591130901416noreply@blogger.com
