Warning to Hyndburn fly-tippers
5:30pm Tuesday 24th July 2012 in Oswaldtwistle
HOUSEHOLDERS are being warned they face prosecution if they use a ‘man with a van’ to get rid of waste.
Hyndburn Council issued the warning following a number of incidents where letters and parcels were found with the identities of householders at flytipping sites.
Deputy leader of Hyndburn Council Clare Pritchard said; “There have been a number of fly tipping incidents recently and investigations are on-going.
“Householders are required by law to take reasonable care over they waste they produce. If they use an unscrupulous operator they could face prosecution.”
Call 388111 to report any incidents.

Maybe if the county council could stop shutting recycling centres, maybe the problem would reduce.

I don't understand why the Conservatives decided to to continue Labours policy of closing the recycling centres. Its not exactly a vote wining policy is it? And the savings made, after all the expense of closure, is really negligable in the overall scheme of things.

All you need to do is check that the "WVM" has a licence and gives you a proper receipt.
