Fly-tipping in Keith lay-by

This was the scene earlier this afternoon in the lay-by heading out east towards Huntly.

Anyone caught fly-tipping in Scotland can be subject to a fixed penalty of up to £200.

If you discover dumped waste report it to Moray Council here.

On its website the local authority advises that:

If you discover fly tipped waste

Don’t:

• touch the waste - it may contain syringes, broken glass, asbestos, toxic chemicals or other hazardous substances.

• disturb the site; there may be evidence that could help identify the fly tippers and lead to their prosecution.

Do:

• visually try to work out what the waste consists of and how much there is.

• make a note of the day, date and time you saw the tipping, its exact location and whether it is in or near water.

If you see someone fly tipping

Make a note of:

• how many people are involved and what they look like.

• what has been tipped - how much and what it looks like.

• details of any vehicles involved including make, colour and registration number if possible.
