That's how you deal with fly tippers

The Spanish Guardia Civil made this guy recover a fridge he had tipped down a cliff.

Excellent - although a tad harsh - I'd have gone for the fine or drag it back up personally. It's a lesson to other Spanish fly-tippers not to post about it on social media I guess.

The guardias got lucky that the guy was stupid enough to post about it. Unfortunately, not all fly tippers are this stupid.

Maybe he could post something like "Si no hubiera alardeado de mis acciones ilegales e inmorales, no estaría frente a este enorme fino ffs!!" on here.

Good. Should do here, costs a fortune to clear the mess left by fly tippers. Make an example of them. Crush their vehicles too

Meanwhile........in Warrington this week.
A guy dumped 40 bags of waste, gets traced from the evidence, pleads guilty and is fined the princely sum of......
..........
..........
£350.
That wont even pay the cleanup cost.

So the severity punishment for fly tipping should depend on the value of your vehicle, if indeed you own one?

Can't see it being repeated in the UK though, breaching his human rights.

Oh, that was lovely. Hats of to the Spanish plod. Just yesterday I had to report some furniture fly-tipped on the Bristol Railway path.

It's not currently something that is in the legislation as a punishment in the UK, but I don't see why you think it would breach human rights? You sound a bit Daily Mail here tbh. Spain is subject to the same human rights legislation as the UK.

I love this.

About 10 weeks ago a wagon carrying a shipping container dumped its load of household rubbish right next to the sheltered living accommodation building across the road. The rubbish at first was actually in the shape of the container, probably because the offenders had rammed it in so much. It's still there now! The rats must be having a field day! Why it hasn't been moved I don't know.

Fine plus crushing. I don’t think most fly tippers carry fridges, furniture, rubble to any location, remote or not in a backpack
Crush regardless of vehicle value
They’ll only do it once and others may take heed
