News Fly tippers beware

Anyone thinking about fly tipping needs to think again as Waste Crime teams and the Police are still prosecuting criminals.

The Waste Crime team continue to monitor the Borough for all aspects of waste crime especially acts of fly tipping. Your waste is your responsibility.

Waste Crime Manager, Jamie Duffy said:

“The Waste Crime Team will not tolerate any act of fly tipping within the Borough and continue to monitor the area for potential fly tipping offences. During these unusual times we need to ensure that our waste is removed correctly and not just ‘fly tipped’.

“We understand that Residents want to have a tidy up whilst they are indoors, but they need to ensure that they have the ability to store any waste they may be creating until things get back to normal. The Waste Crime Team work closely with Kent Police on all aspects of waste crime and will continue to enforce against anyone fly tipping.”
