Fly tipping in the Crowthorne recycling area in the Lidl car park is becoming a serious concern for residents and the council.
Dumping rubbish at recycling areas is a form of fly tipping. Fly tipping is a criminal offence and one of the most common forms of anti-social behaviour. It blights our environment, is a source of pollution, is a danger to public health, encourages vermin and can attract other forms of anti-social behaviour.
You could also receive a fine of up to £400.
These photographs show the rubbish that was dumped at the Crowthorne recycling area, Lidl car park, Crowthorne this weekend. Officers have attended the site and have managed to identify two people and a local business from evidence collected and they will receive a Fixed Penalty Notice.
When using this site and all other recycling areas please make sure that you take the boxes you have brought the recycling in home with you and recycle it there.
Councillor Iskandar Jefferies lead Member for Culture, Public Protection and Democracy said “We will not tolerate fly-tipping in our beautiful borough and I am pleased we are continuing to take action against those who think it is acceptable or do not take responsibility for ensuring their rubbish is disposed of correctly.
“We investigate all reported fly-tips and if enough evidence is recovered than we will take action.”
