A pile of rubbish was dumped in a park in Sefton to highlight the scourge of fly tipping in the borough.
Piles of rubbish bags, bed frames, a washing machine and an old pram were among the items “dumped” at Poets Park in Bootle on Wednesday, surrounded by tape stating it was an “environmental crime scene.”
The “staged fly-tip” was a Sefton Council campaign in partnership with Keep Britain Tidy aimed at spreading the message about the consequences of people dumping waste in their community, including when this is done via a third party people have given their waste to.
