Following the festive period, we have noticed an increase in waste that has been left in our communal bin areas due to fly-tipping
Fly-tipping is an eyesore for our customers and it’s also a criminal offence to dump waste next to a bin, on a street corner, in an alleyway or on a grass verge.
Where there’s fly-tipping in communal areas, it increases the risk of attracting pests such as rats, mice and ants which could then spread to people’s homes.ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý
