FLY TIPPING – THIS IS NOT CHARITABLE GIVING 

Date: Saturday 14 March 2026, between 12-2pm
Location: Brookside – Burford

We are seeing repeated trips being made to charity clothing banks to clear out someone’s home, with items lefts on the ground when the bank is full. 

This is illegal fly tipping and the cost of clearing it up is paid for by everyone else through council tax. 

Fed of up seeing this kind of mess? We would like to speak with man shown in the video. 
If you recognise him or know who this might be, please contact us privately.
