COMMUNITY blue bins on a village car park at Lymm are to be removed by Warrington Borough Council due to misuse by fly-tippers.
The industrial-size bins on the Davies Way car park are often left over-flowing with waste which scatters across the car park.
Now the borough council has decided to remove the eyesores after warning last week: “We’re removing the blue recycling bins at Davies Way, Lymm from 19 November.
“People are putting the wrong items in, contaminating the bins so contents can’t be recycled.
“Lymm Parish Council also regularly has to remove fly-tipped items. The clothes and shoe banks will remain on site.”
Local Cllr. Ian Marks commented: “A few months ago the Davies Way car park was in a dreadful state from illegal dumping of all sorts of rubbish. A meeting was held on site attended by myself, Parish Council staff and Warrington Council officers. The Parish environment team were having to spend far too much time clearing the area up.
“At the meeting we agreed a number of actions to improve the situation which would also free up a little more space for parking. We discussed the large blue bins and the Warrington officers pointed out that most if not all residents should have their own bin or access to one. There should be no need for a communal bin and it they needed more capacity then an extra bin could be obtained from the Council.
“It is not clear who is responsible for this tipping. People don’t always like change but to help keep our car park tidy I support the Council’s action.”
