Revealed: Fife’s worst fly tipping site

Thank you to attendees when the region ends the status of the main incident

Fife interruption: more confirmed closures

Is this the worst place to fly in Kikcaldy, even Fife?

The Mitchelston Midden is a terrible disaster, and nearby investors need to be cleaned and secured.

The Site of Myregormie Place was once home to Glassfibre Production.

Today, it’s a vast wasteland with debris.

There are huge piles of trash thrown at it, from kitchen appliances to damaged toilets, cooling units, construction debris, plenty of boxes and even a sofa.

The fence that deserves to protect its perimeter has been demolished or simply crushed by the intensity of the debris.

Ironically, one of the few pieces remains a sign that urges others to report tipping cases.

The debris is stacked several meters deep in stalls and extends throughout the life of the vast site.

Traders contacted through the press say the situation has worsened and that the presence of so much rubbish attracts more dumpsters.

The site is located in Kirkaldy Garden Center and parallel to the busy A921.

It is an ugly neighbour to Smith Anderson’s site, and a number of businesses whose premises back on to it.

It is dotted with discarded and damaged electrical appliances (a freezer bears the seal of a national company) and furniture.

A huge piece of charred land is evidence of fire: burnt steel boxes have been abandoned.

Traders told reporters that travelers visited the site about six months ago, demolishing fences to park in the giant concrete area. They were moved, leaving debris that worsened with the arrival of the dumpsters.

“Come the trash and raise it, ” said one.

A portable cabin on site was installed in a chimney site several times, which added to chaos: the most recent place in the chimney a few weeks ago.

The Glassfibre Limited Production farmhouse, which produced molded portions for a wide variety of products, from houses and cars to wind turbine shovels, and even diving for the London Olympics.

Construction swept to the ground through a huge chimney in December 2010.

A total of 35 firefighters fought the fire overnight, and locals were warned to keep windows and doors closed as a nauseating smell hovered over the area.

In 2011, the company received a location in Glenrothes and then moved to Chorley in England.

In 2018, the W.L. company. Cunliffe (Southport) Limited, enters administration.

In May, a final appeal was made to creditors to submit them in early June.

The press understands that the city council is in dispute with the news of the site.

Dawn Jamieson, leader of the Fife Council team, said: “Unfortunately, in those difficult times, when our facilities are already under pressure, there are an increasing number of reports of fly overturning around Fife. Everyone is guilty of their own waste and will have to dispose of their waste responsibly.

“Investigations are ongoing right now and we are continuing to investigate. Our officials have also contacted the new owner and have been informed of their goal of transparenting and protecting the land.

“There is no excuse for throwing flies, which is a flagrant for the law and our external environment. Nobody needs to see the garbage dumped. It has a direct effect on the state of our roads, parks, wildlife and communities.

“Our recycling centers are open and we urge others to use these facilities.”

Since last week, the Scottish Land Registry shows that it is owned by Calringnose Limited. The owner of the company is registered on a registered front in North Queensferry.
