“It’s dead easy come round here at night and dump stuff, even in the day,” explained Andy Beal, “I’ve seen people driving vans and they have dumped all their stuff out.”
He lives in one of Oxfordshire’s largest housing estates and said fly-tipping around the area has become a regular occurrence because “it’s dead easy”.
Beal, who lives in Blackbird Leys, Oxford, said fly-tipping was not an issue when he first moved to the area, but it had “got worse over the years”.
He said local authority measures, including fees to have large waste collected from homes, were “putting barriers in front of people” who were trying to properly dispose of waste.
His comments come as Oxford City Council announce plans to crackdown on fly-tipping, including introducing free collection for bulky waste.
