Myths and Mysteries.

It became evident when researching the issue of illegal dumping that a few urban myths were constantly being used (abused?) by the local communities, the most common being:

1) " The normal council garbage service collects verge waste."

2) " I never see a bulk waste day notice so I leave it on the curb."

3) " I didn't know dumping was illegal. Nobody gets fined."

4) " Other people take it and use it."

5) " I don't know where the tip is, or how to transport the material there."

Is it these myths that we wish to unveil the truth upon? Do we want to highlight to the community where and when they can easily dispose of their waste to prevent it ending up in private property?
