Prevention & Enforcement of Illegal Dumping
It’s no news that dumping rubbish can be incredibly harmful to the environment, not to mention the wider effects it can have on the community; for some, it can be seen as a minor issue and can get carried away. “Surely one time won’t hurt!”
But this raises more problems than it solves:
- How will the town look after multiple fly tips?
- Who’s going to remove the waste?
- What are the consequences of it?
Typically we’re called out on jobs when household rubbish and domestic waste is abandoned on the side of the road, which often include:
- Furniture – tables, chairs.
- General waste – bin bags, food waste.
- Bulky appliances – fridges, cookers.
“For the 2020/21 year, local authorities in England dealt with 1.13 million fly-tipping incidents, an increase of 16% from the 980,000 reported in 2019/20.” According to Gov.UK.
Why is the problem getting worse?
Undeniably, there can be fingers pointed towards the pandemic for having an effect on people disposing of waste illegally due to the inability of Berkshire Council to meet the demands of waste collection.
Like many other UK councils, they struggled to maintain the demand for regular collection – meaning people like you were overwhelmed with the amount of waste building up at home, which definitely wasn’t pretty!
