Brookside, washing machine fly-tipped

Date: Saturday 22 June 2024, 1.30pm
Location: Burford flats, Brookside

Watch the YouTube video of the fly-tip at Burford flats, Brookside:


Description: We’re sharing this footage because many people don’t realise that leaving items out for scrap on public land is fly-tipping and you could be fined. Did you know there are lots of ways to get rid of bulky items?

You can book a collection which is free or discounted for eligible residents or visit our Household Recycling Centres.

If you have white goods delivered, the business will often take away your old appliance for recycling.

Remember, if you use a scrap collector make sure they are licensed, otherwise your waste could end up being fly-tipped and if it’s traced back to you, you could be fined or taken to court. Legitimate operators licensed by us will have a red badge on their vehicle. If you know the man in this footage, please call our confidential number on 01952 388800, so we can speak to him about the right ways to get rid of large items and waste.

Did you know that dumping waste by bins is still fly-tipping? It’s not nice for other residents because it looks an eyesore, could attract rats and is a fire hazard.

In the past year we’ve had 70 fly-tips reported here costing you money to clear up.

We regularly speak to residents about how to get rid of their waste properly. Need to get rid of bulky items? Book a collection which is free or discounted for eligible residents or visit our Household Recycling Centres

Location: Dalford Court, Hollinswood

We believe the vehicle drove into Telford and Wrekin via the A41 and left via the M54 the same day. We are investigating whether the same van has driven to Dalford Court on more than one occasion to dump waste, creating an eyesore and costing you money to get it cleared away.

We need your help to identify the vehicle owner, or the men caught on CCTV. If you have any information, call our confidential helpline on 01952 388800 and quote Dalford Court, Hollinswood.

Remember leaving waste by a bin is fly-tipping. To get rid of bulky items book a collection or take it to our household recycling centres.

Brookside Community Centre Case number 12

Brookside Community Centre Case no 12

Date: 25 March 2022
Location: Brookside Community Centre - What3words location palacesupsettingearplugs palaces.upsetting.earplugs
Description: One of our CCTV cameras caught this owner allowing his dog to foul and did not clear it up from the pavement just outside the entrance to Brookside community centre.

Everyone has a legal duty to clean up after their dog if they have fouled in a public place. And ‘no poo bags’ is not a reasonable excuse for failing to remove the faeces.
