A special environmental task force tackling fly-tipping in Renfrewshire has been “going from strength to strength” – as more fines are handed out to illegal dumpers.
The bespoke team, which formed last year, has been conducting daily patrols as the council strives to tighten its grip on the problem and catch perpetrators in the act.
The group inspects evidence left in bags, searches for potential witnesses among nearby residents and businesses, and monitors CCTV camera footage as it tries to identify those response for unsightly piles of rubbish.
