Fly tipping is considered a serious offence and is both criminal and anti-social in nature. The act not only harms the environment but also puts public health at risk, and can attract vermin and pests to residential areas.
By cracking down on fly tipping, the Council aims to create cleaner, greener, and safer communities for everyone. They encourage residents to report any such incidents they come across, and warn that anyone caught fly tipping will be held accountable for their actions.
Powys County Council has reiterated that they take the issue of fly tipping seriously and will continue to work towards a cleaner and greener county for all.
