Council says anti-fly-tipper cameras are working in South Kesteven
The authority says further cameras on Green Lane in Welby and on Grantham Canal continue to deter and reduce volumes of fly-tipping.
But South Kesteven District Council wants residents to continue to feed back information on fly-tipping and littering, wherever it is in the district by reporting it online at www.southkesteven.gov.uk

SKDC’s Executive Manager for Environment Ian Yates said: “We monitor locations across the district, noting car registration plates and we will always consider prosecution for anyone we identify who dumps waste anywhere in the district.
“Every household and business has a responsibility to dispose of rubbish in the correct manner and a legal duty of care to ensure waste from activities such as building work is correctly disposed of.
“We thank those residents who report businesses to us who do not provide the necessary documentation when they employ them.”

For scrap metal collectors, householders need to ask to see documentation that is issued by SKDC.
Householders are also reminded of the authority’s bulk item collection service when disposing of bigger waste items, with collection available for £12.
