Reporting Litter

❌ 5 BAD 1️⃣ At least 25,000 tonnes of waste, including asbestos, dumped near Newquay. The developer received a suspended prison sentence, curfew, unpaid work and a clean-up order. His company was fined £90,000. 2️⃣ A report published this week recorded 2,991 water industry pollution incidents across England and Wales in 2025. Of those, 84 were serious. 3️⃣ A battery thrown into general rubbish caused a fire at Kenilworth recycling centre, forcing an evacuation. One careless disposal puts other people at risk. 4️⃣ Another waste-site fire in Yeadon. Residents were told to shut windows and doors while firefighters tackled the blaze. 5️⃣ Six tonnes of fly-tipped rubbish cleared in Kersal. Credit to the crews. They shouldn’t have had six tonnes to collect. Which story stands out to you this week? 👇

✅ 5 GOOD 1️⃣ Hounslow brought the tip to residents. A Feltham pop-up offered free disposal of six items per household, alongside repairs and furniture reuse. Make doing the right thing easier. 2️⃣ A Cheltenham waste operator was ordered to pay £47,610 in fines, costs and surcharge after deliberately spilling red diesel to avoid detection. 3️⃣ A Northampton business admitted four fly-tipping offences.
