Businesses fly-tipping reaching epidemic proportions

Businesses fly-tipping reaching epidemic proportions


Britain is at risk of being buried under a rash of fly-tipping, one of the UK's leading waste management companies says.
According to BusinessWaste.co.uk , every single day there are scores of incidents where hazardous waste is dumped in streets, fields and residential waste bins across the UK as unscrupulous business criminals attempt to avoid fees and the landfill tax.


The situation is made worse by local government budget cuts, meaning that councils are increasingly stretched in the battle against fly-tippers, who seem to be getting the upper hand.


"In the end it's the Council Tax payer who has to foot the bill for the clean-up," said BusinessWaste.co.uk 's Mark Hall, "and a lot of the time it is dishonest trades people leaving their waste somewhere they shouldn't."


"The squeeze really needs to be put on tradesmen and companies to prevent this kind of anti-social and dangerous behaviour," said Mark Hall, "While some simply avoid disposing of their waste to avoid paying fees, the real danger comes from those who fly-tip hazardous materials to avoid legal and financial difficulties."
