“Fly-tipping is an environmental crime that blights communities and places an unnecessary strain on public resources.'
THE number of fly-tipping reports made to Glasgow City Council dropped significantly in 2022, new figures obtained reveal.
“There is no excuse for fly-tipping due to the range of options available for waste disposal such as going to our household waste recycling centres, requesting a bulk uplift for £5 per item or using the various re-use services available online. Key measures include fines for fly-tipping to be more than doubled to £500 and the introduction of new powers to impose a fine on the registered keeper of a vehicle from which a littering offence is committed.
