Always Hire An Experienced & Genuine Waste Disposal Company

When hiring a waste disposal company, it’s essential that you do due diligence and check their credentials for yourself to make sure that they’re experienced, professional and – above all else – actually genuine.

Why? Because experts have now said that the continued rise in large fly-tipping incidents around England is down to organised criminal gangs, fake companies that hire out buildings to dump waste, with parts of London and Manchester the hardest hit by this illegal waste removal crisis, the BBC reports.

It seems that the illegal dumping of waste by these fake companies has cost local authorities around the country nearly £60 million in costs since 2012.

The BBC Shared Data Unit found that in 2019, councils were hit with a £12.8 million bill to clear over 36,200 large tips – accounting for over a fifth of the total cost of clearing fly-tips. Large-scale fly-tipping, which is defined as lorry load size or bigger, has more than doubled in six years.

The National Farmers’ Union said the situation was spiralling out of control, explaining that criminals are now using tools to break into private land and tip huge quantities of waste, while companies try and rent land or buildings in order to dump waste.

They also seem to be going to great lengths to hide what they’re up to, going so far as to compact the waste into plastic wrapping before taking it to open land and building it into haystack shapes.

Some local authorities are now running their own initiatives to prevent fly-tipping from happening, such as landscaping in such a way as to block access to tipping hotspots. They’re also setting up web pages sharing images of local fly-tippers with the general public.

And it seems that they’re having some success, with two local authorities each issuing a fine of over £50,000 for the offence in 2018-2019.
