Fly-tipping costs council more than £1m in a year

Salford council has confirmed funding for a project costing almost £1m to address fly-tipping hotspots, coinciding with the completion of its fourth day of action across city neighbourhoods. This initiative follows reports that fly-tipping costs the council over £1m annually. Local authorities stated that the actions of a small minority are creating significant costs and problems for the wider community, necessitating these extensive clean-up efforts to restore the local environment and manage ongoing expenses.
