What comes around goes around.
A garbage truck got trashed by a town council in England after it was spotted being used to illegally toss rubbish on the road.

Fly-tipping, as it’s called, is an ongoing issue in the London borough of Bromley, where costs for clean-up are over $300,000 annually, so the authorities have hired private eyes who used close circuit cameras to catch culprits, SWNS reports.
In this case, authorities tracked down and confiscated the white Ford, then crushed it after no one came to claim it.

“Unclaimed vehicles, like this one, will be crushed and the parts reused if possible," councilwoman Kate Lymer said.
Along with the mess, illegally dumped garbage is often set on fire by arsonists and can contain hazardous materials, making its removal even more expensive.
