Hull City Council continues to warn residents to dispose of their waste legally to avoid facing enforcement action.
The warning follows nine recent fly-tipping prosecutions. These individuals were ordered to pay a combined total of £8,271 in fines and costs to the council.
Councillor Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment, said: “Fly-tipping is a crime and we do not tolerate it in Hull. It is unsightly, potentially harmful to human health and damaging to the environment.
“We urge residents to dispose of their waste in the correct way using our accessible services, schemes, and household waste centres across the city. We also encourage residents to report those who do not dispose of their waste legally.”
