Fly-tipping costs councils across England millions of pounds every year in cleanup costs, draining money that could otherwise be spent on essential local services. In Blackpool, the council's wholly owned company Enveco cleared up a total of 4,800 incidents in the past year.

The campaign calls on people in Blackpool to protect themselves and their communities from falling for a #RubbishDeal - lowcost, unlicensed services offered on social media by organised waste criminals.

Fight Fly-tipping Fortnight aims to shine a spotlight on rogue operators, who lure people in with cheap deals, only to illegally dump household waste on streets, fields and public spaces.
