The Wall of Shame is BACK!

We’re determined to win the war against fly tipping and we won’t take any prisoners in the process! That’s why, after a short break due to covid-19, we’re bringing our award-winning Wall of Shame series back, to once again name and shame the few people dumping their rubbish on our streets, ruining the borough for everyone else.

And it doesn’t stop there! From today, you’ll start seeing two different types of signage at fly tipping hotspots across the borough, to warn off offenders by letting them know our cameras are watching them and they’ll appear on the Wall of Shame!

You’ll also see signs challenging the people who don’t seem to care about dumping rubbish, by asking them if they:

•    are too lazy to go to a bin or recycling centre
•    don’t care about the local area
•    think other people should clear up after them

Or is it just because they’re a ‘tosser’?

The hotspots have been specifically chosen by our enforcement officers and our street cleansing team based on the amount of fly tipping and reports from residents
