The council has intervened after fly-tipping complaints have soared
Sefton Council has launched a new campaign after complaints of fly-tipping have soared in one part of Merseyside.
Rats, mice and flies love the environment which fly-tipping creates, which allows them to breed and multiply. Rats cause infections such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, rat-bite fever and a type of meningiti, which can be transmitted to people. "That is why where we can trace the culprits, we will take enforcement action against them, which means they could receive Fixed Penalty Notices or be faced with prosecution."
Often, items of furniture can be passed on to local people who need them. The council works with local charities who collect furniture that is in good condition and can be re-used, free of charge. Alternatively, the council can collect up to three bulky waste items for £14.
