“A purpose of a waste carrier is to collect and dispose large and multiple items which a person would struggle to move in a car, perhaps a total house clearance. If anyone thinks that a person is taking waste away and thinks that they will fly tip as to see their Environment Agency waste carriers certificate, if they have a professional business they will have a plastic credit size card with there registration number on it.
Also under the Duty of Care legislation it is compulsory to issue the client a waste transfer note.....a paper trace of the waste collection, if you have not been given one the transaction and is illegal, the client under law is just as responsible as the carrier.
The idea of this article is to educate the publics knowledge, which has been given plenty of publicity but no thought of public training. I am glad that it is getting the responce deserved.......and all comments are valid, because it is a subject which has be in lightened in the public domain, because it has had none. When I have had to disgusts my concerns to the powers that be it has always fell on ignorant ears.”

“I'm not surprised this has happened. Plymouth City Council charge a fortune to come and collect items from your house. Fly tipping is a problem but what do they expect when they'll charge you £20 for one item to collect! Fly tipping will always be a problem unless Plymouth City Council do something so people can dispose of unwanted items easily.”

“To all the people moaning about Chelston Meadow, tyres are not household waste they are not aloud to be landfilled, tyre fitting companys have a legal obligation to dispose of them, the council has to pay to take tyres away from the site. The council offers a Landlord Scheme where landlords can register with Chelston Meadow and dispose of waste for free, if this gets abused I guess they will start making a small charge. The van permit scheme is for a van owner that is getting rid of waste from their own home if it is thought that the waste is commercial they will be questioned and if it is found out to be commercial they will be turned away, what you have to remember is that person is being paid alot if money from a member of the public and then disposing of it for free.”

“It is happening everywhere. People have NO consideration for anybody or anything. They even tip on the MOORS. There are mares with foals, ewes with their lambs,Cows with calves even Deer out there. So Please show some consideration for all these animals as it is their home. Please take your rubbish to the proper places.”

“Of course Plymouth City Council are complaining about fly tipping, purely on the grounds they have to put there hand on the coffers to go and clean it up, less face it they coulden't give a dam about rubbish in our city full stop.. just take a look around nect time you take a drive our streets are strewn with litter down every street, lane, road, verge, its everywhere, I wouldent be surprised if Plymouth is now officialy the filthiest city in the UK, I have to drive down Kings Road to get to work and its like chelston meadow itself. I am ashamed to have to live in this stinking rotten city that calls itself Plymouth, Councellers you should be ashamed of yourself, oh and while I am on my soap box, where are the road sweepers these days I havent seen one for years... maybe we should have an investigation into expenses into councilers expenses, maybe thats where all the funds are going..”

“My baby points out the rubbish and shakes his head from his pushchair... even he knows its wrong. If people can put an effort into driving to the next suburb and dumping why cant they put effort into finding somewhere suitable yep charging and strict rules at dumps is a ridiculous challenge but the underlying issue here is peoples loss of respect and appreciation of our city. If everyone took account of their own rubbish it would look a whole lot better. fast food out lets, fly tippers, travellers... it all boils down to one issue we are all responsible for ourselves. The lanes nex to my kids school are a disgrace full of washing machines fridges and other dangerous castoffs.. when I constantly ring the council they only come around and pick up the odd rubbish bag.. the kids have seen rats in the playground everyone seems like they are excepting this as their lot in life... I guess some people feel as is there its ok to add it the rubbish . Like the crime, rubbish is a reflection of a society giving up..look outa the window Plymouthians
politics aside we are blessed lets not loose sight of the hope and glory.”

“My guess is that nearly all the flytipping is done by either those "man and van" type people that will clear some rubbish "cash in hand" or someone who is too lazy to drive to Chelson Meadow and tip his rubbish for free. I don't understand comments from people saying they are refused at Chelson Meadow or have to pay for a van. I have literally dumped everything imaginable at Chelson Meadow (hardcore, household rubbish, whitegoods, asbestos - you name it) and I have never ever had to pay or have been refused. As mentioned before, every Plymouth council tax payer can get a permit for a van once a month to tip for free as well. On top of that the council runs various services to actually collect bulk and dangerous waste. What more would you want?”

“To the St Jude's reader, that's exactly what I was moaning about in my previous comments...St Judes...do you seriously think that neighbours are dumping on their own doorstep...I think not.....little dirty mongrels drive through the back lanes at night and dump their unwanted stuff in our back lanes.....they know it's easy pickings how are they possibly going to get caught unless we form a group of vigilantes and take the law in our hand....who will get in trouble then???? You can't stop it until you eradicate ignorance and that isn't going to happen any time soon.....as for burning rubbish...spot on ...perfect....we do that a lot...BUT there are some things that just can't be burnt!!!”

“To the fly tippers, Burn it don't dump it.”

“A message to all the inconsiderate fly-tippers living in St Judes. Please do not leave your rubbish in the back lanes it means every other tax payer ends up funding your lazy behaviour. Another idea would be for your neighbours to report you through Plymouth City Council, their number is 01752 304786. There is also a webpage explaining about fly tipping and how to report your dirty neighbours, http://www.plymouth.gov.uk/homepage/environmentandplanning/flytipping.htm”
