TWO more charity shops have been targeted by flytippers - less than a week after a ‘van load of junk’ was dumped outside a shop in Boscombe.

The British Red Cross and Samaritans charity shop, both located in Old Christchurch Road, had “rubbish” left outside the stores overnight on Monday.

Store manager Linda Tramontini said she arrived at work yesterday morning to discover the “disgusting amounts of rubbish” dumped outside the store.

“It was just so upsetting to come to work and find all this stuff just left outside our front door,” added Ms Tramontini.

“It makes me really angry because we work very hard to keep this store immaculate and offer good quality merchandise especially as we are in quite a tough area.

“To have someone just dump the rubbish that they couldn’t be bothered to take to the tip outside of our door is infuriating.”

Among he items left outside the shop was a broken radio and plates, bits of wood and glass, broken picture frames, a box with an old wedding album inside, an empty cardboard box and soiled clothes.

According to Ms Tramontini the Samaritans charity shop, which is located just a few doors away, was also targeted by fly-tippers overnight on Monday.

Bournemouth Borough Council was contacted to dispose of it properly.

This is the latest of a large number of fly-tipping incidents in the area.

Last week a van-load of junk was dumped outside Tenovus Cancer Care in Christchurch Road, Boscombe.

Shop manager Joy Legg spent an hour tidying up the junk which had been left outside the shop overnight.

She told the Echo she had seen in an increase in the number of people who discarded of their “rubbish” at charity shops rather than make arrangements to dispose of it properly.

Just yesterday the Echo reported a caravan stuffed full of old tyres had been left abandoned in Hurn Court Lane for nearly a month. It is due to be removed by Dorset Waste Partnership.

And now another abandoned caravan has been reported in Magna Road, Poole, in the layby near Hamworthy Club.

The caravan has been gutted and filled with concrete blocks, foliage and other rubbish. It is due to be removed sometime today, according to Borough of Poole.
