Three people have been fined after dumping waste in Burma Drive, less than 50 metres from the Hull City Council-run Burma Drive Household Waste and Recycling Centre. The household waste was fly-tipped on the public footpath, in January.<\/p>\n
The council continues to take firm action against fly\u2011tipping<\/a>, urging residents to dispose of waste responsibly to avoid fines or prosecution. Councillor Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment, said: \u201cFly-tipping is a crime<\/a>, and we do not tolerate it in Hull.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is unsightly, potentially harmful to human health and damaging to the environment<\/a>. These fines could have been easily avoided if the perpetrators had simply travelled a little further up the road and used the household waste and recycling centre to dispose of their waste legally.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Seven Hull residents fined a total of more than \u00a33,000 for littering<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThere are a number of services, schemes, and waste centres in Hull that residents can use to ensure waste is disposed of correctly and our communities are kept clean.\u201d Services and schemes the council provide to dispose of waste include:<\/p>\n For large items residents can use the bulky household collection scheme<\/a>.
