Can you help name these brazen and prolific fly-tippers and put them out of business?
Middlesbrough Council MEDIA RELEASE
They’re being sought by Middlesbrough Council’s Environmental Neighbourhood Safety Team after a spate of incidents.
The vehicle – a Ford Transit tipper truck, registration number Y847 GAT – has been reported numerous times dumping tyres, building waste and other material at sites around East Middlesbrough.
In one recent incident on November 19 two men were caught on camera dumping a large load of tyres in Kreuger Alley, North Ormesby.
Now the town’s Environment & Community Services Environmental Neighbourhood Safety Team is appealing for help to track down the duo as part on their ongoing fly-tipping crackdown.
Fly-tippers face a Fixed Penalty Notice of £400 if caught, while failing to ensure waste is disposed of legally can land a householder with a fine of between £150 and £300.
The truck – which is untaxed and unregistered – will be headed for the crusher when it is found and seized.
Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston said: “This is brazen criminality that blights communities and we’re determined to stamp it out.
“We’ll find those responsible and hit them where it hurts – in the pocket – and put their vehicle out of action.”
Middlesbrough Council offers a safe, free or inexpensive bulky waste collection service. For more information and to request a collection, visit www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/recycling-and-rubbish/bulky-item-collection or call 01642 726001.
Residents can also book online to dispose of large items at the Household Waste and Recycling Centre at Haverton Hill.
There is no charge for residents but fees apply for businesses.
