Huge pile of waste dumped near woodland

A large amount of waste has been dumped near woodland. A mass of discarded expanding foam has been left near paths leading up to the woodland in Cote Street, Worthing. Worthing Borough Council’s waste and cleansing team are working to remove the “sizeable mess” as soon as possible so it doesn’t impact the surrounding natural environment and wildlife.

Fly-tipping is illegal and can lead to a fine of up to £50,000 and imprisonment.
