Illegally dumped waste
Waste Partnership for Buckinghamshire
Illegally dumped waste, or flytipping, costs the taxpayer thousands of pounds a year in clear up costs.
The Waste Partnership for Bucks have launched the 'Illegal Dumping Costs' campaign, aimed at prosecuting flytippers and retrieving the unnecessary cost of flytipping. To find out more about this campaign, visit Recycle for Buckinghamshire
