flytipping

Small branches, hedge cuttings, grass cuttings etc.. Local council collect it and mass compost it, then resell it I understand.

And have you noticed the pollution?

If its dumped on private land it cost the council nothing. Its the landowners responsibility to clear it up and pay to tip it.

harry formulated on Monday :

I do, but then I have a massive garden to do it in. Some do not have the space, so have to use their brown bins.

Yes, it's obvious to everyone except Council officials, it seems.

I saw a new twist on fly-tipping near us. A lay-by on a main road has for some years had been provided with a set of containers for unwanted clothes, cardboard, bottles, etc that people use fairly regularly. Last week I saw council workmen erecting a temporary fence around the whole collection because someone had fly-tipped a whole lot of junk just in front of them, thus rendering the containers inaccessible. Presumably some council operative will eventually get around to clearing the rubbish away. At least they know where it is and it's easy to get to.

Not from here, no. But I am a couple of hundred miles away.
