🎶Rub a dub dub £400 fine for a plastic tub 🎶
(& 3 black bags of waste).
The habit of dumping waste by other peoples bins is still #flytipping & is costing @WalsallCouncil & other businesses 💰000's to clean up.
#goscote #walsall.
Use @WalsallBins to dispose of waste lawfully.

We tend to find grit is better at melting snow than bags of waste - another fly tipper traced and fined for #flytipping this time on Stephenson Avenue #Walsall roughly £130 per bag is pretty expensive compared to perhaps using a bin or the local tip!

[Savvy Shopper @SavvyShopper6]

Trading Standards officers out with T2 @StMatthewsWMP on joint visits for ASB week. Illegal cigs seized from 1 store by TS, offensive weapons seized by police. Male arrested. Illegal goods & crime go hand in hand. Tell us where - 0808 223 1133

Our #EnviroCrime initiative is cracking down on illegal dumping with a two-pronged attack: education and enforcement 💪 🚨

This approach, combined with increased surveillance, aims to change behaviour among perpetrators and reduce the incidence of illegal dumping in our borough.

During joint partnership work with @WalsallCouncil @SavvyShopper6 a number of shops were visited in the Blakenall and Bloxwich area. The visits resulted in a number of illegal vapes being seized and removed from sale. #asbawarenessweek @WalsallPolice

Would you pay £200 per black bag of refuse to have it disposed of? That is how much the fine was for this person #flytipping in #Willenhall.

😡 and another one - the nearest @WalsallBins tip is 3 miles away - your own bin is at the end of your drive!
At least the driver cooperated with the investigation - it needn't have come to this with more care & thought for the local #environment & #community!
KEEP WALSALL CLEAN!

[Walsall Grime Fighters @WSGrimeFighters]

Was this chap trying to make Suttons Drive look nicer by leaving plant pots and a garden statue on the verge or was he #flytipping?
We think fly tipping so called him in for interview and issued him a fine £££
KEEP #WALSALL CLEAN & show #respect for #localcommunities.
