Hot Spot turns up heat for fly-tippers

 
Moray Council is to join forces with Grampian Police in mounting a month-long crackdown on illegal fly-tipping. Last year, the council dealt with 238 incidents of fly-tipping at a cost to the council taxpayer of more than £15,000.


Operation Hot Spot will run throughout June, with Moray Council and police officers working with the Forestry Commission and local landowners to highlight the detrimental impact fly-tipping has on the environment.


Hot Spot signs will be erected in areas where fly-tipping is a recurring problem, with a warning that covert CCTV equipment is being used to catch offenders.


Council staff have also reported an increase in the volume of household waste being dumped at local recycling points.
