PROMOTION Don't waste your time clearing up Doing some DIY? Sorting out your garden? HIPPO will take care of all your rubbish needs - and recycle 90% of it F ly-tipping (the term for illegally dumping rubbish or waste) affects everyone because it is unsightly, hazardous to health, damaging to the environment and wildlife, and can encourage vermin. If it persists within a neighbourhood, it can even bring down property prices and cause businesses to suffer losses. Each year, it costs taxpayers nearly £50 million for local councils in England to clear up abandoned items, according to tacklingflytipping.com. There has been a significant focus on educating people about fly-tipping and the risks associated with disposing of waste through an unlicensed person or business. Members of the public have a duty of care to ensure that any waste produced at their property is disposed of responsibly and legally. Failure to do so can result in a steep fine and a custodial sentence - even if the person unknowingly uses a 'rogue trader', who fly-tips.
