Trees, household waste and builders rubbish: Pictures show fly-tipping sites cleared in Bassetlaw

From trees to household waste – Bassetlaw District Council has published details of several fly-tipping sites its teams have cleared up recently.

The local authority cleared up some fly-tipped trees in Cross Lane, Elkesley, dumped waste in a layby off Mansfield Road, in Morton and rubbish in Gainsborough Road, between Sturton le Steeple and Bole.

Fly-tipping is a serious criminal offence for which people can be prosecuted.

Bassetlaw District Council said there is no excuse or justification for it and anyone caught fly-tipping could receive an unlimited fine, have their vehicle confiscated or face imprisonment.

A spokesman said: “We also want to remind our residents, that they have a ‘duty of care’ to make sure that their waste is disposed of correctly.”
