Worcestershire Battles Escalating Fly-Tipping Crisis
14 Oct
Summary
- Waste removal business struggling with frequent call-outs.
- Fly-tipping incidents have increased over the last two years.
- Dumping includes hazardous materials like asbestos and needles.
Fly-tipping has become a severe issue in Worcestershire, with a local waste removal business reporting significant strain. Steve's Rubbish Removals in Worcester states they are now responding to illegally dumped waste two to three times per week. The owner notes a marked increase in this problem over the last couple of years.
Illegally dumped waste is being found across various locations, including industrial estates, private land, and secluded rural spots. The materials discarded range widely, encompassing general household waste and construction rubble. Worryingly, hazardous substances like asbestos and used needles have also been discovered at these sites, complicating cleanup efforts and posing health risks.
