Crime scenes set up across Walsall as cost of fly-tipping tops £660,000 in a year
Crime scene tape has been placed around illegally dumped waste across Walsall as the cost of fly-tipping in the borough tops £660,000 a year.
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.
Fly-tipping in Walsall cost in excess of £600,000 last year to clean up.
whg paid out more than £300,000 to remove illegally discarded waste, while the figure for Walsall Council was £360,000.
