Rubbish fly-tipped in Walsall
A mattress and other rubbish has been dumped in Walsall, despite free skips being offered around the borough in a new initiative to tackle fly-tipping.
Waste had been left in Longwood Lane in the borough last week, encroaching onto a road.
Beginning on January 19, 10 weekends of free skips have been in place around the borough on Saturdays at two different locations.
Residents can bring up to three bulky household items to the community skip.
Walsall Council’s cabinet approved three trial initiatives in September 2018 to combat fly tipping across the borough. Free community skip days are the second of the trials to take place and will be followed by the third trial, extended tip opening hours in Spring 2019.
Residents will need to call 01922 653355 to reserve a slot to bring items to the skip.
