El consejo de ciudad de CARLISLE debe introducir cámaras fotográficas portables del espía para coger tippers de la mosca.

Los jefes del consejo divulgan un aumento de 200 por ciento en la mosca ilegal que inclina puesto que la ciudad cambió a las colecciones fortnightly del wheelie-compartimiento en el resorte.

Dicen que, hasta ahora, el personal ha llevado softly-softly un acercamiento las casas que salen hacia fuera de demasiados desperdicios.

Pero a partir de esta semana, comenzando en sala del St Aidan, la gente que puso hacia fuera demasiada basura, o póngala hacia fuera demasiado temprano, puede contar con una multa de la fijo-pena £50.

Rayo Bloxham, el miembro ejecutivo del concejal responsable, dicho: “El problema grande que hemos tenido tiene sido gente que descarga los sacos en carriles traseros.

“Hay también la gente que pone hacia fuera la basura anterior que el día de la colección.”

The spy cameras have been borrowed from the Environment Agency and should be in use later this month.

They are likely to be deployed first in so-called fly-tipping “hot spots” - Botchergate east, Botcherby, Aglionby Street, Warwick Square and Dowbeck Road.

A report says that students and migrant workers are among the worst offenders.

The council also has plans to extend a pilot scheme for the 6,794 mainly-terraced homes not suited to wheelie-bins. They are given purple sacks, which are collected weekly.

Under the pilot scheme in Garden Street, Orchard Street, Brook Street and London Road, households leave sacks at their front door rather than in the lanes at the back.

Council officers have also suggested making a £10 charge for the bulky-items collection service, currently free. This covers removal of electrical goods, sofas, mattresses and other large items.

A £10 charge should bring the council £120,000 a year.

Mr Bloxham, however, said he opposed a charge for fear it would encourage fly tipping.

A final decision will be taken in December.

Overall, the council says fortnightly collections have been a success.

The volume of household waste sent to landfill has fallen by 28 per cent and the proportion of waste recycled is at a record high of 52.2 per cent.

The amount of waste collected at Rome Street tip has also fallen.

The switchover involved delivery of 45,000 wheeled bin, 3,500 greenboxes and 60,000 green sacks for recycling.

There are plans to extend recycling schemes and set up 20 recycling points to serve rural areas where kerbside collections are not viable.

Despite the magnitude of the change, the council received only 65 formal complaints. Environmental health officers report no increase in the rat population.

Mr Bloxham added: “We haven’t had the problems experienced by other local authorities who’ve moved to fortnightly waste collections.

“That’s because we introduced kerbside recycling collections at the same time.”
