Furniture dumped in Monkmoor, Shrewsbury We asked visitors to send in their examples of fly-tipping and here’s one example sent in to us, a sofa and chair dumped in the street.

Our contributor, from Monkmoor, Shrewsbury, says they were “neatly” dumped outside the Tandoori Cottage in Monkmoor Road, a few weeks ago, just around the corner from the police station.

She says the culprits were seen carrying the chairs from their back garden at 11pm one night and the furniture remained there for a day or so.

Do readers have any more examples of fly-tipping? We’d love to see them to help build up a detailed picture of fly-tipping throughout the county to see just how big a problem it really is.

We are asking readers to get out with their cameras and record all the examples they can find of fly-tipping in Shropshire, so we can see the scale of the problem.We want to map the fly-tipping hotspots and we’ll build up a gallery of photos of the best – and worst – examples sent in to us.

So if you’ve been shocked or angered by rubbish dumped needlessly near you, e-mail your photographs to internet@shropshirestar.co.uk, including your name, address (but let us know if you wish to remain anonymous) and as exact a location as possible for the littered site.
