Farmer Confronts the Man Who Used His Farm as a Dumping Ground After Finding His Address

“Fly-tipping” is the common practice of dumping trash onto someone else’s property and it is quickly becoming a trend in rural areas of England.

Joe was recently targeted by multiple fly-tippers because his farmland is close to local roads and dumpers can easily flee the scene.

Joe was sad to see another heap of trash blocking the path to his driveway, but from underneath the rubbish something caught his eye… A stack of envelopes was thrown away that could lead Joe back to the offender, and it was someone he knew well.

A Pile of Trash on the Street

Joe woke up one morning to find that there was tons of garbage on the street leading to his driveway, which was also where the gate that he let the cows out of when they needed to graze was located.

Joe didn’t have any time to fret on this turn of events, because he had to quickly move the trash before the cows needed to be let out.

Joe Was Used to This Happening

Joe’s daily routine as a rural farmer in Essex, England wasn’t simple. Not only did he have to face the strenuous manual labor of harvesting his crops and herding his livestock, he also had to deal with the criminals who were constantly breaking the law on his property.

Joe’s Land Looked Like a Dumping Ground

Joe had grown up on his property and had worked on the farm for as long as he could remember. He had incredible memories of playing in the beautiful countryside and he genuinely enjoyed the work he did.

But, some people in his community considered his farm as nothing more than a dump, and they treated it like one.

A Legal Loophole Allowed it to Happen

Fly tipping is a common practice in England and its small communities, where Joe resides. Because of the steep fees of hiring a truck to haul away garbage and the small amounts of trash that can fit into a homeowner’s trash can, some people find that they would rather dump their garbage on someone else’s property so they no longer have to deal with it.
