Fly tipping

The council is doubling the team that clears and cuts grass verges, as part of a £307,000 investment.

Residents who paid for rubbish to be removed say they were shocked to find it dumped at an old tower block.

More than 10,000 cases of fly-tipping were reported to Kirklees Council over the last year.

Umit Bilgin left the rubbish when he had already been summonsed over waste dumped elsewhere.

The waste blocked Watery Lane in Lichfield, and required a specialist team to remove.

Michael McDonagh dumped huge piles of waste across south Buckinghamshire.

Reigate & Banstead Borough Council says efforts to reduce fly-tipping have failed.

Matthew Berry, 46, and SBR Foxhill Limited were prosecuted for an illegal waste site in Skendleby.
