the prosecution of fly-tippers.<br />

6.1 The introduction of charges for the special uplift service and controls<br />

at HWRCs has contributed to more sustainable waste management<br />

behaviours within the area. Furthermore there has not been an<br />

increase in the level of fly-tipping within the area and the cleanliness<br />

of the area, as measured in conjunction with Keep Scotland Beautiful<br />

through LEAMS, has been maintained. The charges and controls have<br />

also enabled financial efficiencies of £388,185.<br />
