It would appear that some on ‘social media’ are complaining about access to Cambs CC Recycling Centres…. I understand that trade people with vans are not being allowed in at present – whether they have a permit or not…I did an article about this last week when the Recycling Centres re-opened.
Fly-tipping is ‘illegal’ those who are caught do face large fines.

Fly-tipping is an eye-sore.
Fly-tipping damages the eco-systems and enviroment.
Fly-tipping damages water courses.

In 2016/17 more than one million incidences of fly-tipping were dealt with by councils in England. The estimated cost of clearing up this waste was over £58 million.

Just maybe our ‘friend’ on social media would be enlightened as to how much other peoples rubbish and litter the Whittlesey Street Pride group have cleared over 12 years.

Fenland District Council have a very good ‘Rapid Response’ team who generally clear up Fly-tipping within 48 hours – and yes it costs us the rate payer.

Maybe the ‘friend’ would like to make a big difference by joining the group, when the restrictions are lifted….Do something useful and positive.
Trade waste will eventually be accepted once the Operators can manage it.
Remember I am not Litter-picking at present it is not allowed – it will wait – it will still be there when we are allowed to get it….
