Warnings over illegal dumping as fly-tipping Friday approaches
FLY-TIPPERS risk substantial fines and a court appearance, if they leave their rubbish on public land, Guernsey Police has warned.
Tomorrow is set to be the busiest day for fly-tipping in the UK as people struggle to get rid of their Christmas waste and packaging following irregular bin collections.
Guernsey Police’s acting deputy chief officer Nigel Taylor said they were keen to remind people that dumping unwanted goods and rubbish waste in unauthorised places was illegal.
‘Guernsey Police will investigate all reported instances of fly-tipping to try to find those responsible,’ he said.
‘The illegal dumping of rubbish can be a challenging offence to investigate.
‘However, where evidence exists to help identify the offender, they will be put before the courts where they can receive a substantial fine.’
