Six people convicted of fly-tipping in Hull have been ordered to pay a combined total of almost £10,000 by the courts. They were found to have dumped waste in parts of the city including black bags filled with rubbish, mattresses, cushions, a bed base and more.
Hull City Council is continuing to warn residents to dispose of waste legally or risk facing enforcement action, including a possible criminal record and a potentially hefty bill. Councillor Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment, said: “Fly-tipping is a crime and we do not tolerate it in Hull.
“It is unsightly, potentially harmful to human health and damaging to the environment. At this time of the year, we understand that excess waste can easily pile up.
“But as we all enjoy the festivities, it is important to remember to dispose of our waste responsibly. We urge residents to dispose of their waste in the correct way using our accessible services, schemes, and household waste centres across the city.
“We also encourage residents to report those who do not dispose of their waste legally.”
