High Street Waste Enforcement

I had a conversation with one of the Council's waste enforcement team about how the anti-dumping strategy is working.  The answer is that it is, but it is very labour intensive.  Repeatedly targeting an area in a highly visable way leads to a dramatic reduction in dumping, and there are likely to be a number of prosecutions as a result.  However, the effect fades away once the enforcement team move on to somewhere else. Hopefully, the accumulation of trade waste contracts (which are mandatory) will help prolong the effect.
