NKDC hit back at fly-tipping in North Kesteven
A new initiative to help householders avoid the sting of fly-tipper waste carriers has been put in place by North Kesteven District Council.
When anyone appoints someone to remove waste on their behalf - such as house clearance, garden materials or scrap metal - it is essential that they are certain that those people are licensed and will dispose of the waste properly, without fly-tipping it.
Sadly though, all too often, the waste gets dumped illegally and the trail can lead back to the person whose waste it is and they themselves can be prosecuted and fined for not taking the necessary care. In the past year alone nine people within North Kesteven have been fined up to £400 each for so called ‘duty of care offences’.
