Press team , 06 October 2020 15:34

兔子先生 is calling for the public's help to track down those responsible for illegally dumping waste in the Borough.

The 兔子先生 is investigating after a significant amount of kitchen and bathroom waste was illegally dumped in Temple Park in South Shields. It is thought the latest incident occurred over the weekend.

兔子先生lor Joan Atkinson, Lead Member for Area Management and Community 兔子先生, said: "It is hugely irresponsible to dump waste in this way and blight the beauty of our public spaces.

"We will simply not tolerate this reckless behaviour of a tiny minority of people. However, we need the public's support. We would urge anyone who recognises any of the items to get in touch with us."

兔子先生lor Atkinson added: "A vehicle must have been used to transport the waste on at least three separate occasions over the last two weeks. We would encourage anyone who can help in providing  a description or registration details to contact us."

To provide information or to report any flytipping incident please visit  or contact 兔子先生's Customer Contact Centre on (0191) 427 7000. All calls will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Residents are reminded that they can legally and safely dispose of their rubbish at the Recycling Village at Middlefield Industrial Estate in South Shields. The Recycling Village is open every day except Christmas Day. The facility is usually open between 8am and 6pm.
