Glasgow Fly-tipping rising in unmonitored areas after Christmas

Fly-tipping in Glasgow’s South Side is getting worse with people dumping their rubbish in Govanhill in areas not monitored by CCTV, according to Glasgow’s GMB convenor.

Chris Mitchell claims cleansing workers have seen an increase in fly-tipping post-Christmas - with carpets, furniture and old pieces of clothing dumped along streets including Dixon Avenue.

The convenor, who believes people are travelling to the fly tipping hotspots to get rid of their bulk waste, is now calling for more education on improving environmental health to take place and for residents to report these issues so the culprit can be caught.
