FIFE COUNCIL are appealing for information after a bad case of fly-tipping in Rosyth was discovered last week.

A huge amount of material, which looks like it could have been a driveway, was found at Middlebank Street.

Outraged by the incident, the Safer Communities Fife team took to social media to appeal for information.

A Facebook post said: "Has someone gone to park their car at home and realised they are missing a driveway?

"Well, we may have found it? It is located on Middlebank Street, Rosyth, next to the Scout Hall.

"On a serious note, this is another example of a rogue tradesman not taking responsibility for his or her waste.

"A drive and dump, leaving it behind for Fife Council to clear up.

"If you have any information, please contact www.fife.gov.uk/flytipping."

In August 2018, the council revealed that getting rid of commercial waste was costing them more than £1.5 million a year.

As a result, councillors agreed on changes that would see the local authority recover fully the costs of disposing of trade waste from businesses.

There were fears that a new payment system and tougher measures would lead to fly-tipping when the policy was introduced in January 2019.

Those who work in the industry and politicians have warned the public of 'man and a van' businesses that advertise on social media, offering to get rid of rubbish for extremely cheap prices that are too good to be true.

Keith Wyse, of Recycle Wysely, told the Press last year that if a company was offering to take away rubbish for £25 then it was too cheap because that cost doesn't even cover the fee of disposing the waste at a centre.

Rosyth residents were quick to share the anger at the find by the safer communities team.

One social media simply said: "Why ... just why?!"
