Background
Because it is overlooked in society and is not seen as big as an issue as it should.
It is destroying local communities in numerous ways thus being:
harming natural reserves and ecosystems
damaging local attractions which repels tourism affecting our economy
Many of the most common items that are fly tipped have a high plastic content, and so, are non-biodegradable.
There should also be a wider range of possibilities for those in the communities to resolve this issue around illegal tipping
