Bridlington Council is requesting that smaller businesses are able to dispose of their waste for free.
In a statement a local councilor said “It’s costing the council more to go round and pick all this rubbish than what it would be to let them go free.”
It’s estimated that around £100,000 in this council alone is spent on cleaning up tippers waste per year meaning tax payers money is going directly toward keeping our streets clean.

Fly-tipping (also known as ‘fly dumping’, and sometimes shortened to ‘tipping’) is a British term for dumping waste illegally instead of at an authorised rubbish dump. It is the illegal deposit of any waste onto land, i.e. waste dumped or tipped on to a site which has no official skip licence to accept waste.

The term is derived from the verb ‘tip’, meaning ‘to throw out of a vehicle’ and on the ‘fly’, meaning “on the wing” which is to throw away carelessly or casually

Every now and then, you find something special in a skip or rubbish dump.

But it’s not often that the remains of a world-famous artist icon are among the findings.

Lisa Gherardini, who is reckoned to be the Mona Lisa model painted by Leonardo da Vinci, was originally buried in a crypt upon her death in 1542.

Unfortunately, her contents were destroyed by building works for a landfill site in the 1980s.

The woman with the inscrutable smile is no more.

Perhaps she’ll be re-incarnated as a skip.

We may never know whether Tennessee Williams had skip hire in mind when he wrote A Streetcar Named Desire, but the chances are, he probably didn’t.

That said, wouldn’t it be special to see a fabulous work of fiction dedicated to our favourite pastime?

Residents in south Gloucestershire might want to hire a skip to show their dedication to responsible waste disposal.

The local council is making a push to promote the collection of bottles and food waste in the area.

From November 22^nd, each home in the neighbourhood will receive a set of three collection bins.

Let’s hope it encourages locals to give recycling the thumbs-up.
