Dumping such material onto farmland is the least important form of fly tipping - certainly less serious than throwing a plastic container out of a car window. It becomes serious only when done on an industrial scale. [/color] OK, so it was biodegradable stuff this time. But what about the next (or indeed, previous) occasion when he might have builders rubble or similar to get rid of. There are a lot of fly tippers in the area in which I live (despite the area being well provided with composting tips), and I hate them.

I take it that fly-tipping is what we call 'illegal dumping', but don't you have rubbish collection? Why would someone take the trouble to transport his yard waste to another property? Rules and methods differ from place to place here (US). My city gives each home a large (90 gallon) plastic bin for regular trash, and a slightly smaller one for recycling (of paper, glass, plastic, & metal). Lawn clippings and leaves are to be bagged in clear plastic and left at the curb (kerb?). Managable piles of small branches, etc. may also be left at the curb for pickup. We are billed semi-monthly for this. |

Lawn clippings and leaves are to be bagged in clear plastic and left at the curb (kerb?). It's similar here in the Netherlands, but not the clear plastic bags, which are a major cause of pollution. One black bin for general trash, a brown one for garden waste. Bins emptied alternate weeks. Bottles have to be taken to bottle banks, waste paper is collected once a week and heavy rubbish collected on request. Managable piles of small branches, etc. may also be left at the curb for pickup.

We are billed semi-monthly for this. Yes it is what you call illegal dumping, but the situation in UK is very inconsistent. Different councils have their own policy about what can or cannot be collected with the weekly (in my area) domestic waste collection, which may be by means of bin bags, wheely bins or bulk bins which are often used for block of flats (apts). Most councils also have a recyclables collection which may or may not include green waste. It also may or may not include glass, for safety reasons. What may be included may also change according to current market conditions for recycling the specific product. Newspapers usually are included, card is often not. Many places have a Christmas tree shredding service in the new year. These collections are financed through council tax, which is itself the subject of a lot of argument right now, as was the community charge (poll tax) before it, and the rates before that. In addition, most areas have domestic waste disposal sites where one may take items too big for the regular collection, or green waste etc. Also old engine oil etc. Many of these sites also sell of a lot of the second-hand stuff.
