Council staff make nasty discovery in Grimsby
A dead sheep was among a pile of fly tipped rubbish
Council staff have made a nasty discovery whilst clearing up fly tipping over the weekend in Grimsby.
A dead sheep is among many items left near the entrance to the Community Recycling Centre in Gilbey Road.
Officers are reviewing CCTV evidence to find who's responsible.
They've also reported it to the Police.
It follows a number of other incidents of fly tipping over Easter weekend
They dumped rubbish at locations including Fisherman’s Wharf, Farndale Way, Abbey Road, Roberts Street and the entrance to the Community Recycling Centre in Gilbey Road.
They left items such as furniture, a buggy, a lamp and bags full of household waste.
Street cleansing staff from the Council cleared up the mess last week and enforcement officers are investigating the incidents.
At Fisherman’s Wharf, fly-tippers dumped loads of soil into one of the recycling bins.
This left the bin so heavy that it could not be lifted by the vehicle used to empty it.
A North East Lincolnshire Council spokesperson said:
“We need your help to track down the people responsible for illegally dumping this rubbish.
“Fly-tipping makes the area look a mess and harms wildlife. If you know who did this, please get in touch.
“People can help prevent fly-tipping by checking the credentials of anyone they pay to take away their waste.”
The council says: If you saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area or recognise the waste that was dumped, please report it in confidence at www.nelincs.gov.uk/flytipping or call 01472 326300.
