This is happening6:31A 30-ton pile of rubbish dropped on a village road
It was a view that James Johnson would never forget: 15-meter-this is the length of the school bus-garbage in the road scattered along the wayImmediately dropped.
“We had old building materials, debris, soil, waste from houses, furniture, metals, and even documents with the names and addresses of people,” said Johnson, head of the regulation and law enforcement at the District Council in Lichfield, England.
“A few feet higher than the average man, he went back to long distances,” he said This is happening Host Nil Köksal.
He was called to Watery Lane, a village road in Lichfield, in the morning of January 20.
According to Johnson, an illegal dump, commonly referred to as flying in Great Britain, refers to rapid, often secret removal of waste usually carried out in the middle of the night.
“Someone will appear very quickly, Chuck (waste) from the vehicle and disappear at night,” he said.
Johnson claims that it can be a job without scruples who receive anything that does not use the inhabitants to take their waste – just to lose them illegally, on feminine fees.
“More often than not, the owner of the house will say:” I saw an advertisement on Facebook or something similar. I contacted this person, it was really cheap and they took waste for me, “he said.
Until noon the next day, 30 tons of garbage were cleaned, allowing the water belt to open again, but not without significant costs and interference.
A potentially life -threatening situation
Lane Waters have already been closed at the other end due to building a new housing development, so both sides were blocked during the incident, trapping of households between them.
“It was closed at both ends. This meant that the emergency services would not be able to enter, if anyone had a failure, “said CBC Elaine Curtis, a resident of Lichfield.
“People were basically trapped like Christmas crackers, they got stuck inside.”
He went beyond residential areas – the companies could not open, because the massive pile of waste blocked their only path.
Caroline Farnell-Smith, who owns the artistic studio called The Pottery Cave, lost in two days of business.
“This had a domino effect for many companies, including mine,” CBC said.
She had to delay the workshop of customers, some of which could not be changed, and because they could not fire the furnace, the time axis also pushed to prepare other ceramics for pickup.
The situation also affected the emotional number of time on the community.
Costs related to cleaning-legal GBP, or about USD 17,700 CDN, ongoing investigation meant that the inhabitants were worried about who would be charged to finances.
“They were bad because the only person who had to collect the bill at the moment is the taxpayer,” said Farnell-Smith.
How can we prevent flies to tilting?
The penalties for tilting flies in Great Britain are serious, including up to five years in prison, a fine, having vehicles that lose and forbidden driving, says Johnson.
Local authorities have the opportunity to take over vehicles, implement hidden cameras to catch squeaking, entering the places of waste to interrogate employees and take over real estate that may contain evidence such as cell phones.
In addition to enforcing the law, Curtis claims that he is in favor of education to prevent activities such as tilting the flies in the first place.
In the previous work, as the headmaster of the Primary School, she implemented a series of initiatives aimed at leaning children to emotionally invest in environmental protection.
“You have to start with education and make sure your children and people value their environments,” she said.
In Lichfield Johnson and his team they received several clues and undergo material from Czech Television. They meticulously comb the waste, which contain personal documents with names and addresses to help track where the waste comes from.
“We hope to catch people who are behind it,” said Johnson.
