'House' furnished by flytippers

A rabbit hutch was amongst the items salvaged

A "house" furnished entirely from items dumped by flytippers has been unveiled by Norwich City Council.

The items, set up in a warehouse unit, were collected over a period of a week.

A sofa, table and chairs, washing machine, pushchair, bicycle, filing cabinet and rabbit hutch were among the items salvaged.

Marcia Elliot, who is leading the council's crack down on flytippers, said the house contained only a fraction of what was collected.

"This is just a snapshot of what we've collected as we simply wouldn't be able to fit it all in this space," she said.

"It's amazing how people get rid of things when there are so many responsible ways that they could dispose of their waste."
