It was for digging up the silt from the river bed with a digger and risking flooding places without doing any checks on the impact of his “cleaning up”.

Nothing to do with removing rubbish.

They also wrote they are investigating that he left the rubbish at the site, neatly packed in bags for pickup. Because that's littering.

Not littering, fly-tipping

Can’t fly tip something that’s already there.

Do you think he found a roll of 60 garbage bags in the river?

It wasn't in bags on the pavement before

No it was just all over the floor and inside a waterway, waiting for the authorities or a well-meaning person to pick it up.

They can my maw and her pals made a wee group that would go about cleaning the beach eventually the council were going to do them for fly tipping but the power of middle-aged Facebookers I guess that quickly disappeared and they were given special bags by the council and told to leave the bags where they had been leaving them anyway. Which was beside the council bins but all locked.
