Aberdeenshire Council is investigating reports of a rogue trader illegally dumping waste in the region. The individual has allegedly then fly-tipped waste in the Crimond and Strichen area. Councillor Alan Turner said: “Most businesses and individuals who would dispose of your waste are fantastic, but there are always a few who spoil it for the rest. “It’s not fair to the businesses who operate legally, and it is certainly not fair to those trusting that their waste will be disposed of responsibly. “Our advice to residents is to only use companies or individuals that are properly registered with SEPA as waste carriers.
