A SUPERMARKET has closed its recycling facility after an increase in fly-tipping.

The Asda store in Carterton has shut its 'bring site' following the incidents.

Councillor Norman MacRae, cabinet member for the environment, said: “Asda, as the landowners of the site, have decided to withdraw the facility.

“It comes as no surprise to me with its recent increased volumes of fly- tipping.

“We continue to provide a full kerbside collection service to our households and we would ask that residents use this as much as possible until such time as the site re-opens.”
