Fly-Tipping Waste

Over 86 Fly-Tipping Incidents Each Week in Doncaster in 2014

Official figures from Doncaster Council revealed more than 86 incidents of fly-tipping were recorded each week in 2014 in Doncaster.


Fly-tipping, which garnered a hefty 4,498 complaints in the borough last year, is the illegal dumping of rubbish and is costing the UK taxpayer millions every year in clean up costs. Public health bosses at Doncaster Council have expressed concerns for the problem of dumped waste which can be harmful to the environment, water course and wildlife.


Mark Benton, environmental crime officer at Doncaster Council, said:


"What people have to remember is Doncaster is the largest metropolitan borough authority in England and it is surrounded by countryside. Our figures may be higher than others, but we are covering a bigger area.


"Fly-tipping ranges from large scale dumping in rural locations to single items left in mainly urban areas.


"We investigate every case, to try and find out who put the rubbish there and why."


In Doncaster last year, there were 11 prosecutions for fly-tipping, 37 fixed penalty fines of £80 and three cautions.
