π‘ “River” of Rubbish Shocks Welsh Countryside π€―

The stunning Bwlch Mountain near Treorchy has been disgracefully transformed into a dumping ground, leaving locals appalled. A massive “river” of waste, visible from miles away, now mars this natural beauty spot, with everything from plasterboard to Red Bull cans and cardboard scattered across the breathtaking landscape. π

Local travel blogger Nathan Dixon revealed drone footage capturing this environmental eyesore and expressed his anger towards those tarnishing his beloved childhood views. The fly-tipped waste has locals and farmers in despair, with concerns for the safety of wildlife and farm animals in the area. ππ¦

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is no stranger to this problem, having previously tackled expensive clean-up operations on the steep mountainside. Theyβre committed to holding the culprits accountable, even installing covert cameras to catch the offenders. πΈ
Natural Resources Wales has declared fly-tipping a serious crime, urging residents to verify waste carriers and report any illegal waste activity. π±π
The Bwlch Mountain is celebrated for its natural splendour, attracting visitors from near and far. Yet, the persistent dumping is a stark reminder that not everyone respects our shared environment. π―π
Everyone can play a part in keeping our countryside pristine: dispose of waste responsibly and hold each other accountable. Let’s work together to protect these treasured landscapes for future generations. πΏπͺ
