This is a serious criminal offence; it carries a fine of up to £50,000 and 12 months imprisonment. Or an unlimited fine and up to five years' imprisonment if indicted to the Crown Court.

The district council recommends not to remove anything that has been illegally disposed from the place it was found as this will be needed for evidence in their investigation.

Witnesses are asked to report anything suspicious.
