Dangerous act of Walsall fly-tipping as trailer dumped

A 40ft (12m) trailer filled with waste has been abandoned on a road in Walsall.

The council said it suspected the dumping on Skip Lane was linked to a spate of similar criminal incidents across the Black Country, including several at tips in Dudley.

Environmental officers arranged for the trailer to be taken to a waste facility on Fryers Road, Bloxwich.
The authority called the incident a "dangerous act of fly-tipping".
