CPRE Shropshire
Protecting Shropshire
Fly-tipping is a menace that blights attractive countryside. Worse, the problem is growing rapidly.
In 2007-08, there were 1.28m fly-tipping incidents dealt with by local authorities in England, costing £74m a year to clear up. 50% of these incidents involved household waste.
There were 5,326 fly-tipping incidents in Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin in 2007-8. The clean-up bill was £292,925.
| Council | Incidents | Clean-up Cost |
| Bridgnorth District Council | 336 | £15,354 |
| North Shropshire District Council | 290 | £18,108 |
| South Shropshire District Council | 247 | £14,034 |
| Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council | 461 | £24,988 |
| Oswestry Borough Council | 203 | £9,765 |
| Telford and Wrekin Council | 3,789 | £210,676 |
| Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Total | 5,326 | £292,925 |
CPRE is strongly opposed to fly-tipping because of its impact on the beauty of the countryside, hazards to health and our belief that the majority of 'waste' should be recycled.
