Fly-tipping photos show old tyres and furniture ruining Britain’s idyllic views
Piles of tyres, old furniture and discarded Christmas trees blight idyllic views in the latest images of the UK’s fly-tipping blight.
Reduced bin collections over the festive period sparked a surge in incidents and disgusted Mirror readers have shared their snaps.
Rosemary Allender regularly has rubbish left at her back gate in St Helens, Merseyside. The latest load included a baby’s bouncy chair, broken fencing and an old tyre.
She said: “My neighbours and I have notified the council loads of times but heard nothing.”
Other snaps show a dozen full bin bags under a no-dumping sign in Crosby, Merseyside, and a Christmas tree on the coast in Belfast.
For three years, so much rubbish has been left at a garage in Haringey, North West London, the owner now documents it under its own instagram handle – St George Display.
Allison Ogden-Newton of Keep Britain Tidy said: “This country is in the grip of a fly-tipping epidemic.
“That is why we developed our #CrimeNotToCare campaign, which is reducing fly-tipping by up to 20% in the areas where it is running.”
