What is Fly-tipping?

Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping or rubbish or bulky items such as unwanted furniture, pieces of used equipment, etc. on land not licenced to receive it. Fly-tipping is dangerous, because it pollutes the land and waterways. Besides, it costs the council taxpayer significant amounts of money to clear the rubbish away.

When people dump household, industrial and commercial waste illegally they commit a crime.

Fly-tipping is often associated with dumping waste from vehicles. The person who owns such a vehicle can also be brought to trial, even if only the vehicle, not the driver, is identifiable. The police also have the powers to seize vehicles which have been used for fly-tipping.

Local Councils in the UK usually provide waste disposal sites and recycling centers where people can safely and legally dispose of unwanted items.

If you discover fly-tipped waste, do not:

• touch the waste – it main contain broken glass, toxic chemicals or other hazardous substances;

• visually try to work out what the waste consists of and how to much of it there is;
• make a note of the day, date and time you saw the tipping;

Look! What’s around you?

Here’s everything in clue.

Garbage swim in river here

Nature’s dying and you, too.

What would happen if we do?

Let’s together protect the forest

Let’s together protect the forest,

Cause to all living it is so dearest!

Its destruction for all is simply horrid

And negligence makes it so sorest.

Be not just a forest tourist,

But stand up for the protection of what is so dearest,

It will make you kind and honest.

So, let’s together take care of forest!

• Fairy tail

by Alina Medvedeva, the pupils of the 9^th form

А Plastic bag and a glass bottle

One day a plastic bag flew around the world. Strong wind blew right into the unhappy bag. And when wind stopped to blew, the bag fall near a glass bottle. She looked at him and think “wow, did it destiny prepared such a gift?”.

-            Oh! I am so sorry, I just flew and fall.. – apologetically said bag.

-            It is ok! Don’t worry! Hmm… What’s your name stranger?

-            Um.. Did you ask me? – incomprehensibly asked bag.

-            Do you see anybody here besides you? – the bottle is getting angry.

-            Sorry-sorry.. My name is Thomas. And you?

-            Lisbon. Nice to meet you, Thomas.

-            Nice to meet you too. Do you want to walk for this wonderful park? - a little embarrassed suggested a plastic bag.

-            Yeah. Come on.

They walked all day, until it was dark. The bag and bottle stopped near bench and just they looked at each other in love. Thomas came closer to her and embraced her.

-            I like you, Lisbon.

-            I like you too, Thomas.

Who would thought?! The destiny brought two lonely souls! This is love at first sight!

On a surprisingly pink sunset, Thomas kissed her and without any resistance she succumbed to him. They were happy at this moment. But their romantic moment interrupted one boy. His name – Jake. Everybody in this city know him as clean and neat. He caught plastic bag in right hand and glass bottle in left hand.

-            Argh.. These people know, that the garbage should be thrown in the trash? - the guy didn’t restrain his indignation.

-            Nooo, Lisbon!

-            Thomaas!

The bag and bottle tried to touch each other, but the distance was great and they can’t do it.

-            I love you so much and I happy that I spent time with the bag like you, Thomas! – Lisbon was crying very hard, because she know, what was waiting for her. And in the last bottle’s words he threw her into the bin for glasses. Thomas was waiting for same things. And it happened. But he flew into the bin for bags.

On this note love has ended. Now we are waiting for how this garbage will be recycled and        new relationships will appear!
