North East Lincolnshire Council is working to find those responsible.

Fly-tippers have dumped around 15 fridges under a bridge in Grimsby.

It is understood the large-scale fly-tip on private land happened last week before it was reported to the council. Marc Lawless, member of local clean-up group Freshney Comrades, regularly goes out to remove rubbish but said this was the first time he had heard of a fly-tip in Grimsby of that scale. "Around Grimsby there is an absolute epidemic of trolleys and rubbish being dumped. I just want to live in a nice clean town that people respect but you just walk around it and it's filth."The 40-year-old support worker thinks harsher fines for fly-tipping are needed and called for regular "skip it" days to give residents a chance to get rid of their household waste.
