"fly tipping" (Commercial Motor 2-8 June) may I suggest that one way to control loads removed from construction sites to tips, would be to treat such loads as contaminated material, therefore using a four-part con veyance note. This would mean that a copy of the ticket would have to be signed by the tip operator and then returned to the point of loading, thus a record of loads leaving the site and arriving at the tip would be built up.
Of course, the responsibility to use only reputable hauliers would lie with the construction company but, having been heavily involved in the movement of hazardous waste in the past, we whole-heartedly agree with Keith Cartwright of A &J Bull that "most building contractors don't give a damn where their rubbish goes".
Let us hope that the situation can soon be brought under control and the cowboy element within our industry be forced out of business.
