    The clothes and shoes donation container in Douglas place was used as a fly tipping point rather then clothes and shoes donations.

    Fly tipping has long been seen as a criminal offence and illegal under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

    Fly tipping like litter dropping has been always noticed as attracting rats that carry diseases.

    Whoever does these things please use your local charity shops or donation centre rather then fly tipped them anywhere.

    It not only saves you from being charged for fly tipping but also saves the environment.

    If a neighbourhood could work together and help improve the environment and clean up after themselves know how to recycle. We could have a cleaner community.
