Cardiff Council is appealing for witnesses following a fly-tipping incident in Canton.
67 tyres were dumped in a lane behind Thompson Avenue last week. The Council’s enforcement team believes they may have been left in the area early on the afternoon of Wednesday June 23.
The tyres are classed as hazardous waste, and fly-tipping this material carries a maximum £50,000 fine.
Business owners must always ensure that they dispose of their waste correctly, as Enforcement Officers from local authorities can ask for proof of this. Failure to provide a Waste Transfer Note carries a maximum fine of £5000.
Executive Member for Environment, Cllr Margaret Jones, said: “Fly-tipping is not only a blight on the community; it is a financial burden to everyone. This is a criminal activity that Cardiff Council is committed to tackling and we welcome any assistance from the public in tracing offenders.”
