Grass fly-tipper hit hard in pocket

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). I just looked up images of "wheely bins" and they look pretty much the same ('though mine are a bit shorter and fatter) as my waste bins. But still, why would anyone load a bin into their car/truck to dump on another's property? Our trash pickup was a 'free' part of municipal services until 10-15 yrs ago. When they changed, there was a lot of discussion about charging for licensed rubbish bags and/or levying a per-bag charge. The problem of fly-tipping was a very real expectation. However, the bins and flat-rate fee pretty much took care of that. I can understand dumping a sofa clandestinely, but lawn clippings?! |
