⚠️ If you pay someone to take your waste away and they fly-tip it, you could still be held responsible and face a fine.
Rogue traders take your money and dump your waste illegally in a nearby street, lay-by or park. What seems like a quick bargain is actually a #RubbishDeal.
Do you normally have your bin collected on a Wednesday? Crews will be delivering your new food waste caddies this week.
If you usually have your bin collected on a Monday or Tuesday and haven’t received your caddies, get in touch: webapp.halton.gov.uk/general…

Fly-tipping is a #RubbishDeal for all of us - for residents, for our council and for our local environment. It’s time we all took action to protect the places we love.
