We get asked quite a bit, "what grounds maintenance can you guys do when it's pouring with rain?"
As it was pouring with rain today, here's what we got up to.
Fly Tipping: Removing Unwanted Rubbish
Fly tipping is quite a big problem in the UK. Here are some facts and figures:
- 1.28m fly-tipping incidents dealt with by local authorities in England (April 2007 - March 2008, Defra).
- Fly-tipping costs local authorities alone almost £74m a year to clean up (April 2007 – March 2008, Defra).
- 50% of fly-tips involved household waste, 11% of all fly-tips recorded involved single black bags, 50% of all recorded fly-tips occurred on the highway (April 2007 – March 2008, Defra)
