Let’s stop fly tipping Reuse and recycle
We’ve noticed an increase in fly tipping
lately and we need your help to tackle it. Fly
tipping–dumping rubbish and unwanted
household items in areas where it shouldn’t
be left– causes real annoyance to both
officers and residents. What people don’t
appreciate is that fly tipping is illegal and
can lead to a fixed penalty notice of £50 or
the courts could impose a maximum fine
of £40,000.
ly tipping isn’t necessary as there are sev-
ways to dispose of unwanted items

responsibly. If you have items of furniture
or household goods that are still in good
condition, you could donate them to one of
the local furniture reuse organisations, who
redistribute furniture to families and people
in need.
Furniture reuse organisations offer a free
uplift service from your home for good quality
goods. However, they can’t take any sofa,
chair or mattress without a fire retardant
label attached. You can arrange for a special
uplift of unwanted household goods at
a cost of £19 through the Angus ACCESSline.
This allows you to get rid of up to three bulky
items properly.
