whg said the fly-tipping had now been cleaned up

Housing group whg has joined forces with Walsall Council to remind residents that disposing of refuse in public areas is a crime.

As part of the campaign piles of rubbish and dumped waste are cordoned off like a crime scene under investigation, to warn others of the 'environmental crime.’

It will then be investigated and removed.

The housing group said illegally dumped waste in Pelsall had been sectioned off with crime scene tape, but the perpetrators returned within 24 hours to clean the mess up.
