Pembrokeshire County Council are consulting police and fire authorities in a bid to tackle issues of fly-tipping during the current crisis.

Pembrokeshire’s six waste and recycling centres have now closed following the further strengthening of measures to tackle coronavirus, but kerbside collections across the County continue.

However, reports of fly-tipping in areas have been received during the current COVID-19 crisis.

One resident in Kilgetty reported this week that people have started to dump their household rubbish at the Co-op car park again, with seven black bags and five orange bags piled up against the remaining recycling area.

“It’s probably because the main tip is closed. Why don’t Co-op put up a CCTV camera and let’s name and shame these morons,” they stated.

Recycling facilities located at the Co-op car park in Kilgetty were removed last year by PCC due to constant ‘abuse’ and ‘fly-tipping’ at the request of the Community Council.

A spokesperson for Pembrokeshire County Council said: “We are now aware of the Kilgetty fly-tipping and will clear it as soon as possible.

“Regarding fly-tipping generally, the Council is in discussion with other organisations, such as the police, fire service and Natural Resources Wales in a bid to tackle the problem during the current crisis,” they added.
