Cannock Chase residents to help tackle fly tipping

Posted on Monday, 06 October 2008 02:49PM by Editor

Cannock Chase residents are being called upon to help find workers who have dumped tonnes of building and construction refuse in a road. Local council members want to know if the waste that was dumped comes from any local residents homes in an effort to track down who is responsible.

Environmental officers are confident that someone will know the origins of the refuse. Council members have stated that any information they receive will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Karen Sulway, environment protection manager stated "there was a distinctive yellow Hippo bag with Butterfields on it and the sand/aggregate mix was a yellow, rather than orange/red colour. There were two different colour damp proof membranes which were grey and greeny/blue and a broken metal retractable tape measure that was in a yellow housing with a black rubber outer casing. The contractor used washing up liquid in the cement mix and there are three different types of cement bag, Castle, CMS and Blue Circle."

The dumping is believed to have happened between 12.45pm and 4.30pm on September 13.
