Councillor Peter Schwier, cabinet member for operations and Pride in Place at Braintree Council, said: “We received a report from a member of the public on Monday 19 October, regarding a large illegal deposit of waste at Elm Road in Feering.
“We take fly-tipping very seriously, not only is it an unnecessary cost to the tax-payer with the Council clearing the waste, it is also a blight on our landscape in the Braintree District.
“I urge anyone who has information about this fly-tip, to contact our Street Scene Protection Team so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
“I would like to thank the person who reported this fly-tipping incident to us, so we could act quickly and start our investigations.”

Braintree Council is appealing for information that could help identify those responsible.
Anyone who recently had waste removed from their property that match the description, saw similar waste being transported in the area, or witnessed the dumping is asked to contact the council.
