Recently we’ve seen more people leaving household waste next to public litter bins in Wrexham. This is basically fly-tipping.
If you fly-tip, you risk being issued with a fixed penalty notice, or you could even be prosecuted.
Councillor Terry Evans, Wrexham Council’s Lead Member for Environment, said: “Dumping bags of rubbish and other household waste next to public litter bins might seem harmless, but it’s illegal, unsightly and can attract vermin – creating problems for people who live nearby.
“Please don’t be tempted to leave your household waste next to a public bin – pop it in your bin or recycling containers at home if appropriate, or take it to one of our Household Recycling Centres at Plas Madoc, Brymbo or Wrexham Industrial Estate.”
If you pay a ‘man with a van’ to take away your rubbish, always make sure they have a licence.
Licensed operators will have a ‘carriers’ licence and you can check if they have one by searching on the Natural Resources Wales website.
You should also make sure they give you the appropriate paperwork, guaranteeing they’ll dispose of your rubbish properly.
