Call 0114 283 1100
Fly-tipping is national problem, with high levels of waste being dumped across the country. In Sheffield the council is trying to tackle the problem, through better monitoring, reporting and investigation processes.
The former Kennings Truck Centre, which closed in the 1980s is currently used as a car park on match days. Plans for site, which covers 10 acres, include a mix of retail, drivethrough restaurants and industrial units, designed by architects’ practice The Harris Partnership. The proposals include three retail units, eight storage and distribution units, two drive-through restaurants and a vehicle maintenance and repair facility, as well as access roads. Up to 250 jobs could be created. The developers said they had received interest in the development from national chains, with potential occupiers including a discount food store, coffee shop and builders’ merchants.
Two fly-tipping cases were heard recently at the Sheffield Magistrates court, where separate defendants chose to be tried at Crown Court. The council is obliged to engage a barrister to prosecute cases held at Crown Court. Simon Knowles, 52, of Sheffield was tried at York Crown Court on January 23. Knowles admitted dumping conifer waste and pleaded guilty to the charge of fly tipping. The courts fined Knowles ÂŁ224 and ordered him to pay ÂŁ1,000 costs to the Council. In the second case, Rayon Wiggan, 50, of Sheffield, was tried at Sheffield Crown Court on 1 February 2019. He admitted fly tipping waste including concrete slabs and other construction waste and was fined ÂŁ460 and

ordered to pay £1,487 costs to the Council. In the case against Wiggan, a member of the public witnessed a van being used to dump waste, which was reported to the Council’s Environmental Enforcement Officers. The van turned out to be a hired vehicle which they traced back to Wiggan. The total in fines and costs for both cases was £3,171. Environmental Enforcement Officers can issue Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN) of £400 to anyone caught flytipping. In some cases vehicles will be seized during a fly-tipping investigation. The council takes fly-tipping seriously and last year issued more than 100 FPNs for fly-tipping and dumping of waste, totalling more than £14,000. Where the FPNs were not paid, or where an FPN was not considered appropriate, the council prosecuted. In all, 19 waste offence cases were brought before the courts, with fines and costs totalling more than £13,000. Four cases led to seizure of vehicles and ten cases are pending court dates.
council, through its Streets Ahead contract, assists local people in organising community litter picks. Last year more than 450 bags of litter were collected by local people keen to keep their communities litter-free, and another 50 bags were collected last month. Anyone interested in organising a litter pick can submit their interest through the council’s website. People who need to dispose of additional waste can do so at their nearest Household Recycling Centre, or they could use the Councils Bulky Item Collection Service which can be contacted on 0114 27 34567. Business waste must be disposed of using a licensed carrier, and each load of waste has to be accounted for by the business obtaining Waste Transfer Notes which must be retained for two years. Environmental Enforcement Officers may request to see these notes, and they may issue a Fixed Penalty Notice for £300 if the business does not have them. People who witness fly-tipping can report it through the council’s website or call 0114 273 4567.
As well as keeping Sheffield clean and tidy through enforcement work, the
