NKDC Executive Member for the Environment, Coun Mervyn Head, said the action showed the authority’s tough stance on fly-tipping.
“It’s difficult to think of something more anti-social than just dumping waste so that someone else will have to come and clear it up.
“North Kesteven District Council will always take a tough stance on fly-tipping so our message is clear – if you have waste you want to get rid of ask us for advice and we will be happy to help,” said Coun Head.
