How Facebook marketplace is ruining the environment
"Man with a van" Facebook ads are leading to fly-tipping across rural areas.
The rise of Facebook's marketplace has led to an increse in adverts from inderviduals providing rubbish removal. Many of these are unlicenced and are therefore not operating legally. These illegal opperators will provide you with a cheap price and will off-load your rubbish in a rural area which then cost either the local council or the private land owners thouhsands per year to clean up.
Infact it is estimated that the cost of fly-tipping is £50,000,000 to local authorities in England and a huge £150,000,000 to private land owners per year.
As the reponsibility for the waste lies with the inderviduals and not these unlicenced companies anyone who uses these companies will recive a fine for the illegal dumping of waste if caught.
To stop this please make sure you use a licenced waste company like wasteonline.uk, make sure the company can provide you with a waste transfer note and report any instaces of flytipping to your local council.
