I hadn’t
come across fly tipping since launching Clean up Prostate Cancer until I peered
into the bushes beside a layby, close to the motorway in Bickerstaffe. You often
see vehicles, including lorries parked there. I’m sure it is a only a tiny minority
who have no qualms about clearing out their cars, garages, homes and dumping it in the hedgerows. Hazardous, ugly, toxic. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Not sure if
I found lorry or tractor tyres but there were 2 of them. A Dyson vacuum and a water cooler container full of a brownish liquid - totally gross. Food tins emptied
and thrown in the undergrowth etc. I can’t think of many more selfish actions. It just is not right.
There is a bin in the layby, it was just a few yards away. I did mention the tip to the Council but while doing so was really aware of how outrageous it was for them to have to deal with such things. It's quite enough that they take the rubbish from our household bins and go around emptying the public bins. It's a job but not everyone would apply for a vacancy.
