Fortnightly Collections Lead To Fly Tipping

The foul crime of fly tipping has reached suburbia, official figures showed this week.
Illegal rubbish dumping of mainly household refuse is now found as much in leafy suburbs as in inner cities and run down estates.
The shift into the suburbs coincides with the introduction of fortnightly bin collections and strict wheelie bin legislation..
Six out of ten fly-tipping incidents involved household rubbish rather than industrial or business waste.
Evidence of such middle class fly tipping brought a new barrage of complaints against the compulsory recycling policies from the Opposition parties.
Local government spokesman, Eric Pickles, said, "Gordon Brown's new bin taxes look set to make it even worse, by giving perverse financial incentives to irresponsibly fly-tip".
Meantime, householders are not allowed to overfill bins so that heir lids are open, rubbish must not be put out in the wrong hours and no additional waste may be left out in bags beside the bins.
BinScents are powerless to stop the fly tipping, not to bring back weekly collections, but we can help in the fight against germs and foul odours with our uniquely designed wheelie bin fresheners.
A combination of natural fruit extract and tea tree oil mask unpleasant bin smells with a fresh, natural fragrance, whilst the tea tree oil deters insects and fights germs such as e-coli and salmonella.
Try some today from leading retailers such as Tesco, or direct from our website www.binscents.co.uk
