Councillor Jenny Platts, Cabinet Spokesperson for Adults and Communities, said: “We take instances of fly-tipping very seriously in Barnsley, it is an inexcusable blight on our borough.
“As part of our #EverybodyThink campaign, we will continue to work with the police and the public to tackle environmental crime.
“Help us to protect our beautiful borough by making sure you only give your rubbish to someone with a valid waste carriers’ licence or you dispose of it yourself in a responsible and legal manner.”
