Don't get caught this Christmas
Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council operates CCTV in dumping hotspots in its area to catch offenders and, following its first successful prosecution against a serial illegal dumping offender recently, it will continue to use CCTV footage to prosecute those offenders who fly tip within its boundaries.
Councillor Janet Gray MBE, Chair of the Council’s Environmental Services Committee, said: “Over Christmas many of us have extra waste that we need to dispose of and the Council would remind its residents to be responsible when doing so over the festive period. The Council operates a kerbside waste collection service, three household recycling centres, a bulky collection service and a network of bring banks for its residents to responsibly recycle and dispose of household waste. We would urge our residents to use our waste services and not to hire a ‘man in a van’ to dispose of their excess waste as it may end up being part of a fly tipping investigation.”
