DARLINGTON Borough Council is appealing to the public for information regarding fly-tipping in the area.

The council wants to know if anyone recognises these items in a picture it has today released.

This particular fly-tip on Burma Road, just off Neasham Road on the edge of Darlington, was reported to the council on Saturday, January 22.

If you paid someone in good faith to dispose of these items for you, please get in touch with the council so it can catch those responsible.

Cllr Jonathan Dulston, the council’s deputy leader, said: “Some of the items are quite distinctive, including a full size table tennis table and lots of fridges with various drinks cartons. If anyone has information about this fly-tip please get in touch. 

“Please be wary of businesses that only operate through social media and do not seem to have a landline phone number or business address and we would also remind residents, and businesses, that they should always ask to see an operators waste carrier licence, issued by Environment Agency, to ensure their waste is not dumped illegally.”
