We’ve joined forces with Keep Wales Tidy to support ‘Not up my street’ a new national campaign to tackle Fly-tipping.
Fly-tipping in Wales has been on the rise in recent years, and it has a devastating impact on the environment and our local communities. Whilst illegally dumped rubbish looks bad, it is also dangerous and expensive to remove.
The nationwide campaign is being run as part of Caru Cymru (a Welsh phrase meaning ‘Love Wales’) – an inclusive movement led by Keep Wales Tidy and councils to inspire people to take action, and care for the environment.
We’re urging tenants to do the right thing when getting rid of unwanted household items. It’s easier than you think, and cheaper than a fine. Always check they are a licensed waste carrier with Natural Resources Wales
