Aragon Direct Services, the company run by Peterborough City Council which clears up fly-tipping in the city, said it was called to three house clearance fly-tips in the village.

It revealed the problem in order to highlight the £23.50 bulky waste collection service which residents can access.

Aragon Direct Services posted on Facebook: “Not such a ‘Green Road’ in Eye this week as we were called out to three house clearance flytips. Did you know Aragon Direct Services can dispose of bulky waste from as little as £23.50? Much better than a fine of up to £50,000! Call 01733 747474 for details.”
