Appeal to catch fly-tippers dumping sofas and fridges in Peterborough
An appeal has been made to help catch offenders who have dumped items including sofas and fridges in Peterborough this week.
The Peterborough Prevention and Enforcement Service is asking for the public’s help to catch the people responsible for dumping a mattress in Peterborough Road, Ailsworth, fridges in Russell Street, and sofas in Gladstone Street. The latter two places are in Millfield.
The PES said: “Fly-tipping is illegal, please ensure you only allow a licensed carrier to take away your waste or you risk it being fly-tipped.
“If it’s your waste, it’s your responsibility.
“You could be prosecuted if you do not dispose of your waste legally.”
