Shocking CCTV released of fly-tippers dumping drugs and rubbish in Rotherham

Rothrham Council has asked residents to help identify fly-tippers caught on CCTV, in a bid to crack down on the crime.

As part of their #GetRidReyt campaign, Rotherham Council has released CCTV footage of people tipping rubbish, which have been investigated but remain unsolved.

CCTV footage on the council’s website shows one man dumping old cannabis plants in Whiston, and another video shows two men throwing a number of bags from a white van in Munsborough.

A third video is of two men tipping rubbish in a layby in Hoober from an unregistered van, before returning to a different layby half an hour later to dump another lot of waste.

Councillor Emma Hoddinott, Rotherham Council’s cabinet member for community safety  said: “We want to make sure that people know that if they fly-tip in Rotherham they will get caught and they will get fined.

“The videos being released have been investigated by our officers, but they’ve hit a dead end with their enquiries. That’s why we want residents to help us and see if they can identify those responsible for tipping their waste at different sites across the borough.”

Anyone that recognises the dumpers in the videos is being asked to get in touch with the Council confidentially via email at [email protected] quoting the relevant reference number.
